I have IBS-d and a small hiatus hernia. Due to both of these I get heartburn/dyspepsia, particularly at night and first thing in the morning.
Just discovered chewing gum works wonders. Day four of half hour chewing at night - the discomfort and nausea have disappeared. Can't believe it! Wish I could find something that worked like that on my diarrhoea!
Hope this helps someone out there. x

I find chewing gum gives me heartburn/dyspepsia not takes it away - just shows how different we all are! !
Thats interesting. I suffer with the exact same symptoms as you. The nausea is killing me at the moment. Do you also chew in the morning? Might have to give it a try. Im currently giving sea bands a go. They seem to be helping a little.
hi chewing gum usually contains artifical sugars which are known to cause stomach upsets and diarrhoea.maybe heathf ofood shop has natural sweetner gum.
