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.
