Has anyone had the same problem with acid reflux

Suggest reading this book: Why Stomach Acid Is Good for You: Natural Relief from Heartburn, Indigestion, Reflux and GERD

Contrary to standard advice, most, especially as we age, have too little, not too much stomach acid. In fact the % with too much is extremely small. When we have too little, digestion slows down and food backs up in the system leading to acid reflux. This is the very brief explanation. The book explains in much more detail. PPI's and the like exacerbate the problem.

Also, all cells with mitochondria have proton pumps, so when we take those meds we impact all of these other cells, too.

Hello fujau64 - As George comments, the problem is often a lack of stomach acid causing problems...
Many years ago, I had that problem and was helped with supplemental betaine hydrochloride and other digestive enzymes. As a result, I offered several posts that are archived here. You can browse through to see if anything
'resonates' with your situation.
