10 Foods to Avoid with Acid Reflux
Acid Reflux Food To Avoid #7: Soda
A refreshing soda on a hot day can be hard to beat. They also go great with meals and snacks, while the wide range available also means that there is likely to be something for everybody. Carbonated drinks contain a lot of gas, though, and this can be a problem for sufferers of acid reflux.
