salt, but its not helping.Yday I used
lemon, honey and water but it seemed to
make it worse......

Sounds like acid reflux or GERD. Talk to
your doctor about getting a medication for
this, such as nexium or prilosec, which
are really quite safe and will help you
feel MUCH better.
I would recommend a low acid diet, but
sometimes it doesn't matter what you
eat...you will have the problems anyways.
