Something I've found out recently -- and I don't know if it's just pure coincidence, placebo, whatever: but my reflux does not seem to be as bad after taking a vitamin D3 supplement. Vitamin D3 is an essential vitamin that we tend to get from the sun when we're out and about in our busy lives. If you don't get enough sun then it's possible that you aren't getting adequate vitamin D3. Why does it seem to work? Well here's my logic: It's been said that D3 may affect calcium absorption in your stomach.. so higher levels of D3 will equate to higher levels of calcium absorption, and calcium also tends to help our LES (lower esophageal sphincter) valves close easier.
Now I'm no doctor so I wouldn't take my word for this. But hey, it works for me!
