Slow easy breathing, and some cold water. If you got no gaviscon, its about the best you can do.

When there's no dodo, you know what you should do do, stick a hose up your hihoo, and flush out the nasty poopoo!

Boiled water left to cool for 5 mins always helps me with normal indigestion.

Its really strange, but I dont know what indigestion is :(

I've had people explain it to me, but I dont think I've ever had it as far as I can remember. Certainly I havent had anything that could be described as painful.

The thing is, I'm always eating too fast, and I'm almost always on the move pretty soon after I eat - I go running after tea several nights a week, and my parents are locally famous for the amount of food they can get on a plate - its not that I dont eat enough or anything.

So what is it ? I've had that feeling where you dont chew properly, normally with subways or macdonalds, and it goes down all in one big lump and you feel like you've just eaten a cricketball or something, but that only lasts ten seconds or so then you're good to go again, is that what indigestion is? or is it like that only long-term?

I feel like I've probably had it before but just not known what it was, but I'm certain I've never had anything painful like that after eating.

I feel so left out! :( :( :(

dukat my main man on the street, i dont know either.

i eat most of my meals in 5 minutes, ill stretch to 10 if its at someone elses house and they cooked it.

i know what feeling sick is, and heartburn but indigestion is beyond me.

It's caused by a valve in your stomach not stopping stomach acid from rising back up through it AND by acid refluxes(acid rising when it shouldn't). If you only have one of these two things, generally you wont get heartburn. If you just have stomach acid refluxes you can get stomach ulcars afaik but it's only when both happen together that you get 'heartburn' or 'indigestion' as it's sometimes referred to (correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know, they're the same thing).

It's a pretty common thing happening to one in three people during their life time but generally only happens to old people. That's not to say it isn't common between younger people too though.

It feels as though someone breifly lights a match in your chest where your heart is (more central though) hence its nickname of heartburn even though it's nothing to do with your heart.

Can be brought on by stress, continued bad diet as well as lack of exercise when done in conjuction with things like eating too fast.

Hope that clears it up :)

And smoking apparently, smoking causes everything bad.

I thought indigestion was when you really need to have a sit on the can, but nothing comes - causing pain in the stomach. That's why i suggested proons!

If it's the same as heartburn, then yeah, milk would help temporarily, but the long term solution is a better diet and more exercise.

By the way I had never heard of parmos before this thread, but I wiki:ed them and ewww... ! Fat bomb!

ofc it will, as the smoke actually passes through the digestive system and not the lungs!
