what are the symptoms of acid reflex disease?

Answer 1

Why is this in mental health? The reflux does not affect your brain....

Answer 2

I have acid reflux disease, and the number one symptom is severe heartburn every time I eat or drink something. Next on the list would be getting severe heartburn at night for no apparent reason. Sometimes at night the stomach acid backs up and actually gets into the back of my throat -- burns like heck.

Answer 3

First of all, its not a 'disease'. That terminology was penned by the drug companies to make you think you need a doctor and prescription. When you burp and it tastes bad, kind of acidy-that's what it is. Your body wants more acid in your stomach. How thoroughly are you chewing your food? You need to combine saliva with stomach acid to digest the food. If you take 2 tablespoons of vinegar in a half glass of water, or, have Italian dressing on your salad, it will really help. Don't take any stuff like prylosec or tums-that will coat your stomach and stop all acid from getting to the food. Your food will go to the intestinal tract undigested and will not be absorbed there. You will not get any nutrition out of this food and your body will be, in effect, starving itself.

Answer 4

There are some that people don't know about, one is waking with an irritated throat, it feels drie and clogged at the same time. Coughing without reason, such as no flu, cold, alergies, or smoking habit. When you do cough it hurts so bad you can barely stand it. What happens is when you sleep the stomach acids will move into the throat area and burn your throat, when you are awake you only notice heartburn and burping, but it's when you first wake up in the morning that you will know.

Answer 5

acid reflux is evidenced by frequent bouts of heartburn, alot of burping and occasionally vomiting.
