Papaya chews anyone???

If I didn't know any better, I'd think there was lava flowing down my esophagus. I am really close to keeping a food journal just to see if there is a certain kind of food that causes such horrible heartburn or if I am just an unlucky gal who has to deal with it no matter what I eat. I was downing TUMS like candy, but when I told this to my yoga teacher, Ashley who is also a doula, she recommended that I switch to papaya chews as they are a "better, all natural way to get rid of heartburn". At first, I thought this sounded silly... I mean, if papaya really helps heartburn that much then why do we have TUMS and other products like it? Well, the answer to that is I HAVE NO IDEA! Papaya not only gets rid of heartburn, it does it BETTER and FASTER than TUMS! I highly recommend switching to papaya chews if you ever suffer from heartburn. :)
