The first time I ever experienced heartburn, it was so bad that I felt like a chestburster alien was trying to come out. I was absolutely desperate and immediately started trying the home remedies, none of which did shit.
I went to the doctor later and I was like, “This cannot be heartburn. I’ve seen the heartburn commercials and this is so much worse. And the commercials all have old men with heartburn.”
Surprise! Chronic heartburn started as a 22-year-old woman.
One of many reasons that medications should not be allowed to be advertised on TV.
I had horrible heartburn throughout my 20s and into my 30s. Mentioned it to every doctor. It would keep me up at night. It would hurt like a bitch and I’d often feel like i was throwing up. One new doctor was like, “you ever try a food allergen panel?”
Turns out, I’m allergic to caesin. It’s a protein in pretty much all dairy. Stopped having dairy products and heartburn is 99% gone.
Moral of the story: heartburn can be caused by a tonne of reasons and it’s hard to pinpoint if there’s even something concrete to even point to
Man, you are so lucky that you had a specific cause found. I’m sorry it was such a common cause and that you have to avoid things like cheese, but I’ve gone through a bunch of panels and diets and never found anything, so it would be a pretty great if I could just find a specific trigger.
I have managed to find a few triggers, like mushrooms, brassicas, and fatty foods. Of course, I’m so into mushrooms and brassicas that I have spent years mushroom hunting and growing brassicas hydroponically, so that was great to learn.
I had heartburn when I started eating really unhealthily and putting off exercise around the time before I went vegan. Because I didn’t know what I was doing at first I dropped a ton of weight, then gained some of it back when I discovered the array of processed vegan junk food.
I rarely get it now (despite eating super spicy foods constantly) but when I do it’s after I haven’t been active for awhile—in other words when I start getting fat.
Lemon juice at dinner guarantees that you reach max level of heartburn, if not yet.

Mine was set off by drinking a lot of tea and then never went away.
