  • This might sound gross, but if you drink plain sparkling water (you may have a different name for it in the US) after you eat tuna it makes you burp a little and sometimes that's enough to stop the heartburn.

  • Home-made fried rice - don't be put off by the word 'fried', you only use a little oil. This is a method rather than a recipe - you just use whatever flavours you like best, and whatever vegetables or meat you have at hand, although onion, ginger and garlic are essential.:happy: In a deep frypan or wok, heat a little oil…

  • Hi, I'm 45 and a mother of two girls aged 13 and 10. Feel free to add me - and anyone else who reads this, please add me too! I joined a while ago, but didn't really start taking this seriously until a few weeks back, so I consider myself a 'newbie'! I live in Melbourne, Australia :-)
