Reflux: It probably will. Ibuprofen and aspirin can cause it as well

Yes but: Dr. Howe's right. You could tray taking mylanta or maalox (generic forms are disgusting!) 30 minutes before the meal you take the Celebrex (celecoxib) with and one hour after. It might help. Also high fat, high protein, low fiber diets increase reflux and so does the excess weight those diets cause. Eat more fruits & veggies in smaller portions more often, & less fat & less protein (in a low fat form).
