I used to get acid reflux all the time, like constantly. Then one week I had no sleep and I just couldn't deal anymore.
So I spend the next fortnight eating nothing but non-acidic foods and taking those calcium carbonate tabs things every third day (even if I had no reflux).
And somehow, my chronic reflux is just gone. Never get it anymore unless I drink 2l of orange juice in one sitting. Even then it's only once off and that's it. This is not medical advice, but somehow my years of reflux is gone like that.
I had it my whole life. Turns out I'm allergic to tomatoes. Grew up in an Italian family, mother had a tomato garden. Go figure.
Ah, kinda like how i "aged out of" my genetic childhood asthma right around the time when my parents stopped smoking indoors.
