Is chewing gum an effective way to get heartburn relief?
It may sound strange but gum stimulates the production of saliva, which is an acid buffer. Chewing gum also makes you swallow more often, which pushes those nasty acids back out of your oesophagus. When you pick a packet of gum, make sure it’s sugar-free so you also protect your teeth, and avoid peppermint flavour.
