Just found out soap is alkaline. If you run out of antacids and your acid reflux is really bad, can you eat soap to settle your tummy? This post inspired by eating chalk for acid reflux.

If your heartburn lasts more than 24 hours, please, please, PLEASE go see a doctor.
I did not. I fought unrelenting heartburn for 5 days. In fairness, it did start 3 days after Thanksgiving, and I DID have the extra plate of sweet potatoes. Antacids did nothing, Pepto did nothing.
On the 5th day, the burning pain moved into my upper arms, which I did not know was a thing, and in the center of my chest it felt like I had a chunk of rock, pulling down on all my innards.
Advice nurse sent me to the ER, ER used a simple blood test to confirm the heart attack, but by day 5 the damage was done and the only fix was full blown open heart surgery.
Doc explained the heavy feeling was my heart only pumping out 30% of what it should be, and that’s right on the line of walking around, talking to people and no longer walking around, talking to people.
But isn’t heartburn all about stomach acids? How is that related to the heart? After all, these are two completely separate organs.
