What also helps is eating less food.

With me, it's usually that cup of coffee in the afternoon
that gives me a hot stomach. Another friend told me that he
is sensitive to tomato sauce (his wife is Italian, but that is
another story) but on a couple of occasions,
when he had a manhattan before dinner, he was fine.

Manhattan Cocktail
3/4 oz sweet vermouth
2 1/2 oz bourbon whiskey
1 dash Angostura® bitters
1 maraschino cherry
1 twist orange peel

I'm sure there are other approaches to this problem. I'm just passing
along what works for me:-)

If you do have an aperitif before dinner, I'd suggest something
that is 17% alcohol or less because higher alcohols levels numb
taste buds and reduce your appreciation of a good meal.
Conversely, if you have burned a meal, creme sherry and
candle light may be a way out;o))


I find most pain relievers and sleeping pills causes heartburn.
Large meals are a problem for me also, especially if lots of tomatoes
are consumed. I really question that alcoholic beverages will help. I
believe that alcohol causes more problems than it helps.

Pepsid Complete and Nexium works well also, However if I take any of
these for a few days, I will get stomach cramps.

Exercise is the best solution that works for me.

Enjoy Life ... Dan
