Acid reflux treatments in the USA are so typically American. They treat the symptom (excess acidity) and not the cause. I had a yeast problem and the acidity was the old body's way of trying to get rid of it. Acud reducers encouraged yeast growth, making the problem worse. Once I began treating the problem, the reflux went away.
Oh yeah, I know "yeast" problems don't actually exist, according to some doctors. Having lived with and through it,it is clear these doctors just don't know about it.
Bottom line; figure out the cause and treat that.
