I,m a five foot two woman and had terrible acid reflux for a few years as I had gained 11 lbs. since I went to the gym and lost the weight and am back to my normal weight of 118. I skipped my Meds. for the acid reflux for a few days and surprised to see tht I no longer got the acid reflux anymore. I really do believe that was my problem all along. I look and feel so much better. I am 62 years young.
