i heard about acid reflx and it can cause cancer how did i get it and how can i stop it please reply fast!!! im very scared and i dont want to have cancer. Its like acid water coming from my mouth and my mom was soo scared b/c she dont want me to have it so i more than ALOT of details i need so many facts!! so please help and i really dont want to have it.

first thing dont worry it's quite common. i had it, went to the doctor, he recommended some pill to soothe (that i didnt take!). i looked up on the net, and raised the head of my bed by 4 inches and never had a problem with it since.

it's a small muscle between the stomach and food pipe that seals off the stomach acid, but it can get aggrevated and some acid gets past causing the burning sensation

don't eat too late in the day, avoid soft drinks and alcohol, very acidic fruits. go for alkaline things like milk and yoghurts, but otherwise eat normally HI don't worry.

Acid Reflect will hurt and feeling like your thrort and stomach are almost burning. Go see a doctor though, but not all cases of Acid reflex can result to cancer, don't worry. What does your doctor say? He probably knows more about this than we do. First of all, don't panic.

It might indeed be acid reflux. In which case, a doctor can make suggestions. So ask.

My husband has to deal with a similar condition. I found papaya enzyme tablets that seem to help him, and when his stomach really throws him a fit I fix him tension tamer tea with a spoon of honey, a spoon of sugar, and a dash of ginger. He swears it helps. Check your local health food store for the tablets. The supermarket should carry the tea and ginger.

Good luck!
