The symptoms of Heartburn and Acid Indigestion is relatively unpleasant. It consists of a burning pain in the chest and a bitter aid taste in the throat. This is due to excess acid being produced in your stomach and escapes upwards to the sensitive lining of your gullet which gives you the heartburn. To avoid this it’s worth eating a smaller meal and avoid foods that you know trigger heartburn and let your food settle before you go to bed. Antacids can help neutralise excess acid, while acid balancers regulate the amount of acid produced, alginates prevent the back flow of acid and often come in liquid form.
