Melatonin and Heartburn?

Melatonin gives be bad heartburn. The doctor thinks there is no connection. But when I don鈥檛 take the melatonin I don鈥檛 get heartburn, very often. The doctor prescribed Prilosec. Yes, that helps. Any other ideas? How about a substitute for melatonin?

Let's go there and here is one testimonial to use

Ray from New York City writes, "I used to get severe heartburn after eating spicy things. Last year a friend recommended me to drink a tablespoon of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (Braggs). In less than a minute the burning sensations were gone. Ever since that I have never had any burning sensations. I used to take tums and rolaids or drink milk and it would not provide fast relief. I used to suffer from heartburn after every meal. Even after breakfast! After stumbling on ACV, I have not suffered from heartburn ever since. It has cured my sinus headaches and also a wart that I had on my finger for 5 years! ACV is better than the doctor. I don't drink ACV but rather eat about 5 tbls. of it on a cabbage salad recipe. I eat it every day."

It really works! Report It

The melatonin I take is an extremely low dose, sublingual tab with no side effects. You own body produces melatonin, so I'm with your doctor on this one. I would look at other things associated with heartburn before I would equate the melatonin with heartburn. It's kind of like saying that you take melatonin and for some reason everyday you have to go to the bathroom.
