According to Kings College of London researchers, chewing gum can reduce heartburn-related symptoms. Chewing gum (sugar-free!) boosts the production of saliva which is an alkaline that helps neutralize stomach acid. More saliva also means more swallowing. More swallowing stimulates the muscle contractions that help digest food, according to the researchers. Also, a piece of hard candy or a lozenge may have the same effect.
Note: This is in reference to mild and occasional heartburn. Severe or constant heartburn is a reason to see your doctor.
