Indigestion & Heartburn!

Don't eat or drink anything at least two hours before bed, except water. If you feel stomach acid or indigestion coming one drink a half cup of milk.  The milk neutralizes the acid. Has always worked for me. I only have the problem if I eat too late and then go to bed. Your digestive system is trying to break down the food, producing the acid, but when you lay down, the acid creeps up into the esophagus, causing irritation and indigestion. Drink a half cup of milk and stay upright for at least 15 minutes.
