Acid reflux, also referred to as heartburn or indigestion, is a condition where stomach acids back up through the lower esophageal sphincter, burning the lining of the esophagus, causing pain and a constellation of other symptoms. Numerous natural remedies as well as pharmaceutical drugs abound for the treatment of reflux and it’s companion condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. Chia seeds have been around for thousands of years and are commonly used medicinally by the natives of Mexico, Central and South America. They are high in omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, antioxidants and other essential nutrients. The chia seed contains amino acids and is a complete protein that works to increase stamina and reduce appetite. Because of their unique makeup, chia seeds provide relief from heartburn, even heartburn from water. Their consumption works to reduce acid reflux and chest pain and heal symptoms of GERD.

Thanks for the info Spring but do you know anyone who has actually tried and tested this? I have suffered from acid reflux for years and have a Hiatus hernia as well. I am on Esomeprazole (Nexium) tablets 20 mg and find if I don't take them every day I suffer dreadful heartburn. I wish I could get off them, have tried several times but end up having to go back on them so relish the thought of something proven to work as an alternative.

I might give this a try as well as I get acid reflux pretty badly from time to time. I'm an avid sprouter, alfalfa, mung bean, etc. though I've never sprouted chia, but it is said that chia sprouts are delicious so if the heartburn remedy thingy doesn't work I can always do the sprout thing and eat 'em in my salads.
Hey, this gal has the exact same tiered sprouter that I have for going on 15+ years or more. It works great, though I do use mason jars and what-not also.

I have tried this too Yaddy but it also gave me more acid, I read about this in a health magazine about a year ago but it just didn't work for me. Don't know what sort of stomach I have
