a. Drink liquids an hour before of after meals
b. Eat smaller meals
c. Lie down after eating
d. a and b
Letter "D" is the answer because heartburn occurs when the acidic juice in your stomach backups into the esophagus. While your stomach is coated with a thick mucus to prevent the stomach from being damaged by the acid, your esophagus is not.
Letter "C" is NOT the answer because by lying down after eating, it may allow the acid in your stomach to escape up the esophagus. The sphincter separating the esophagus from the stomach is much looser than other sphincters in the body.

How is heartburn treated?
Heartburn is caused by excess stomach acids. There are many things you can do to treat heartburn or even cure it. Most people get heartburn and they take an antiacid which provides some instant type of relief but in reality heartburn medications don't cure, they just mask the problem. * Neutralize the acid (alka-seltzer) or stop production of the acid (pepcid) and you will not have heartburn. * The best thing you can do is to start eating smaller/lighter meals and not lay down for at least an hour after eating. * Some people take vinegar as it works to replace the lack of acid in your stomach. * When you have heart-burn it's a good idea to try some chewable "TUMS" pills or asprins. * cut down on caffeine, chocolate, high acid foods, dont eat late at night, drink plenty of water and try to elevate your head some when you sleep. * I would recommend Heartburn No More. * There are a variety of over the counter medication you can purchase such as Tums. However, sometimes just drinking some milk will work. Tums or Rolaids, Mylanta, Pepto-Bismol. * soda crackers or bread. Drinking water will dilute your stomach acid and bring some relief. If the heartburn is severe and frequent, you should have a doctor check you out.
How do antacids help someone with heartburn?
In order to neutralize acid you must use an "anti" acid chemical or natural biological. That is what antacids do. They neutralize acid and the burn from the excessive acid or refluxing acid. The acid in your stomach is stronger than battery acid so you can see why it burns in the esophagus. So you add an alkali type of product and it will neutralize it. Milk will help. Products like Gaviscon or Malox will do too. Believe it or not your own saliva does neutralize heartburn. One of nature's many sources of checks and balances. The main thing is to PREVENT heartburn. This will reduce the occurrences of the acid burning the esophagus. Generics of products like Zantac do a dandy job of it for a reasonable price. The higher the dosage the better. Such as Zantac comes in 75 mg. or 150 mg. So if you get severe heartburn it is better to use 175 mg. Now, if heartburn products are not neutralizing the acid or you get it everyday you must see your general practitioner doctor or your gastroenterologist. It is bad to let heartburn continue unchecked because the stomach acid will burn holes in the esophagus.
