Heartburn – a burning sensation behind the breastbone, along the esophagus, sometimes quite painful and persistent. It is the result of reflux of acid stomach contents into the esophagus.
Heartburn usually manifests itself after 30 to 60 min after a meal, sometimes on an empty stomach.
It often happens in the acidity of the stomach, but can also occur in patients with atrophic gastritis with reduced secretion of gastric juice, when irritating effect on the mucosa of the organic acids formed in the stomach in case of violation of processes of digestion and bile pelted from the gallbladder into the duodenum, and then into the stomach and esophagus.
Sometimes heartburn can disturb the healthy people with the wrong diet, abuse of spicy seasonings, after a fatty meal, alcohol (especially dry wines). In some cases, heartburn can cause acidic fruits (apples, lemon), yogurt, black bread, and overeating.

The doctor will first rule out heart disease and to further examine the gastrointestinal tract. The most informative are: x-ray examination of the stomach and duodenum, endoscopic examination with the help of special devices with fiber optics and a study of gastric acidity. It is important to conduct all these surveys, so as to properly treat the patient only comprehensively evaluating the results obtained, said Mikhail Gurvich in the book “the Big book about eating for health”.

To suppress the acidity of gastric juice directed and mineral water treatment.
When heartburn can recommend sodium bicarbonate water (also called alkaline), as well as hydrocarbonate sulfate waters.
Drinking alkaline mineral water is recommended to start with small quantities (50 – 100ml) of warm (38 – 40°C), and provided good endurance already on the 3rd – 4th day “drinking” treatment make up to 1 Cup (250 ml) of water at the reception.
Treatment is usually performed in compliance with the traditional principles, i.e., by a single of the techniques of mineral water for 1 hour before main meal. However, when complaints of heartburn reception omelicheva water can be timed to the time of the alleged occurrence of heartburn, i.e. some time after a meal.
