    it can be genetic but i think in most cases it is due to the eating habits that are inherited. We tend to inherit diseases because we learn to eat from the same people who learned the same habits from people who also had those diseases. Anything that is not pure food; veggies and fruit and whole grains, can give you acid reflux. It is a hot burning feeling in your throat or can cause chest pains, heartburn, in your chest and an indigestion feeling in your solo plex. This tends to be strongest at night and is aggravated by water more than anything else. Propping yourself up at night can help or sleeping upright but if you have this it should be treated properly. If an over the counter reflux med doesnt work, get some zantac. You can’t let this go untreated. You could burn a hole in you esophagus.

    If pain gets severe, you might want to haveyour doctor to check and see if your gallbladder is functioning. Sometimes acid reflux can be disguised by the gallbladder not functioning.

    Heartburn is the same thing. Your body is calling for more acid to digest the food in there. If you take a tablespoon of vinegar in a glass of water it will go away. If you don’t want it to start, have a salad with oil and vinegar dressing with your meal. Chew your food thoroughly as you need the saliva to start the digestive process. Don’t drink more than 3-4 ounces of WATER ONLY with the meal as the liquid will dilute your stomach acid. Pay attention to what you consume. Keep a chart. See when the heartburn occurs-what have you eaten? Maybe you have developed a stomach ulcer. Take a teaspoon of Aloe juice each day on an empty stomach for this problem. Don’t take antacids-they neutralize the stomach acid and let your food go to the intestines undigested-it rots there before you can eliminate it. This could cause severe lower digestive problems.
