My work mate is sitting opposite me with a severe case of heartburn - well she did over indulge at lunchtime ending with strawberries and cream. Anyway she is sitting here and her face is looking a bit how can I say, as if she is fall of wind. Any antidotes Lin

Problem is she's in the office - not part of the first aid box contents. Lin

A peppermint tea (or ginger) might help.

I think the bicarb is a no no, I can't decide which I would want the most - a volcanic erruption or spontaneous combustion ttfn Lin

Extra strong mints, although if it happens often carry Gavilast, they are really good, small pill that you swallow. gaviscon are good too but they have to be chewed. ann Glos
