heart burn: can any one tell me what causes it and how can i get rid of it quick

heart burn occurs due to acidity. Stop taking too much spicy & hot stuffs & oily foods. Curds is a natural antacid it curs heart burn

I suffer from heartburn too, one thing that helped me was i don't over eat... i will only eat half of less than the amount of serving i am used to. i noticed that with me, i get heartburn if i get so full and when i drink coffee too much. i stayed away from it totally and only drinks ocasionally.

An antacid, like Tums usually works for me. If you get heart burn chronically, I'd suggest you should talk to a doctor.
