Hi Acid reflux, also called heartburn, is caused by acidic digestive juices creeping up from the stomach and entering back into the esophagus. It is related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (or GERD), the more severe form of these problems. Acid reflux causes a burning sensation, almost like your chest or throat is one fire. Dos and dont Increase her water intake Good portions of fruits and veggies Coconut water Fermented foods Eat 2 hours before she sleeps.
