Heartburn/Indigestion?

I know there are topics on this already but I kinda need personal advice.

I think it's heartburny/indigestion: pain at the top of my stomach kinda near/under my ribs and slight burning pain at the top of my chest. 

I'm recovering from anorexia and so you know, I've obviously introduced a load of new foods into my diet. I've read a load of things so: I drink at least one glass of milk a day; I eat cucumber pretty much daily (Someone said this caused their heartburn); I eat a fair bit of fruit; I eat quite a lot of fatty foods (e.g. nutella, peanut butter, dried fruit etc).

I'm not sure about taking antacids (we only have Rennie, is that any good?), I'm worried it might not be heartburn/indigestion and it will cause more problems... Help anyone? Please? Thanks in advance.

Yes, that sounds like heartburn. Take a rennie and lie down, see if it passes. If it does not, then raise it with someone.

Thank you so much for replying so quickly Lala!! Will do, thank you

When I started cal counting I also incresed my water intake by 2 liters/day and the heartburn I had daily for 3-years went away.

I don't know if that is healthy considering differant nutritional circumstances, but it worked for me.

Peace

Hi

Sorry to bring this up, but if it doesnt go with a rennie or a load of water, go to your Docter you may have gall bladder problems or gall stones, the people who are at risk those out of eating disorders, those with pain were you state and it can happen to more than just the fat flabby forty somethings, please get it checked out, its easily ruled out by an ultra scan, quick dianosis and quick treatment can prevent more and more pain and even a severe attack I know I have had gall stones and just out of an operation 6 days ago and I am was Bullimic/food obsessive/ED on and off extremes from starving to sicking to overeating and its caused stones I'm 33. Please just rule it out before you get in a cycle of cutting out foods, eating antiacids and getting ill.

I hope you feel better soon and wish that you have not got gall problems, but better be safe than sorry.

Lots of love and sending you ((((HUGS)))) sue aka astralhippy

Heya, thanks to you both for replying!

The heartburn/indigestion has gone now thankfully and it hasn't come back at all so I think it's ok.

Thank you anyway
