rawvelution bars...

[kellibelli]

I just got a bunch of rawvolution bars tonight. I figured I would keep one or two in my purse for emergencies. Here is what I noticed, though, I got heartburn after I ate it. I could tell it was pretty dense and I think that is what did it. I noticed the same thing the other day after I had some nuts as well. I am prone to heartburn and usual dont get it unless I have a fast food frenzy, but this kind of shocked me. Any ideas???

It's the oils in the nuts,

the ONLY time I get heartburn is when I eat walnuts that have been processed too long in the food processor, it draws out the oils in the nuts.

try rolling them in carob or coconut flakes, or chopped nut pieces, see if that takes up some of the oils, if all else failes, eat with citrus fruits, this ads more acid to the stomache, it may cause bloating, but you won't have heart burn any more, or at least this works for me

also peppermint is excellent for stomache issues,

also, ginger, or vinegar too.

Hey, thanks so much. I have my Prilosec here begging me to take it for relief, but I dont want to resort to that anymore. I will have some peppermint tea and see how that goes. I appreciate your help!
