so can i take murstard to stop this heartburning?
Some people believe that
Some people believe that mustard is good for heartburn. The theory is that the stomach over-produces acid if it senses that the stomach pH gets too high (alkaline) to lower the pH to it's normal level. Unfortnuately, the excess acid can lead to heartburn. Takin mustard decreases the pH (makes it more acidic) and this signals the acid producing cells to halt release of stomach acid.
People recommend using 1/2 teaspoonful of mustard by mouth and then drinking a full glass of water. This remedy may or may not work, but is generally safe.
If your heart burn persists for longer than 2 weeks or is accompanied by any other symptoms, seek medical attention.
