Sounds like you are bothered with reflux which can be uncomfortable or even painful.
Whatever is causing it, you really ought to talk with your GP.
They have so many medications that will stop you having indigestion for good.

[=rizla=]

Try pepermint water.

Sound advise by cruella I used to suffer terrible indigestion a lot and whatever I took that you get over the counter I seemed to get immune to eventually.
A trip to the docs soon sorted all those years of bad indigestion out.
He put me on a course of pantoprazole sodium about a year ago and it cured it almost completely.
It still comes back now and again but very rarely now and if I get an attack then all I have to do now is take one or 2 tablets and within around a few hours its gone and stays gone as well.

Agree with both the two previous comments. I have suffered for the last 12 months and decided to go to the doc's when I was struggling to breathe. He put me on a months supply of Lanzoprozale and I feel tons better already ( a week into course)

Hi Scarlett!
I've had this problem on and off for many years. The latest "over the counter" remedy - RANITIDINE - works better than anything I've ever tried. You can buy it in Tesco or Morrissons with their own label (just called "indigestion remedy") or else go to a pharmacy and pay loads more. It's a "take one and mended in half an hour" process. It works in a different way to older preparations in that it stops the production of excess acid rather than trying to neutralise it.
PS Wilkinson's version is the cheapest!
Good luck,
Tony
