This is really interesting. I am currently seeing a Chinese Medicine Practitioner (herbal and acupuncture) for what he says is related to IBS. He said yesterday that when treatment is finished he plans to have rebalanced my endocrine system. But first, we need to get my bowels functioning properly. Anyhow, I was talking about heartburn and he said to try honey in room-temp water. I'd never heard of it before.
