How would my dr know if i had reflux from acid or from bile?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reflux is common: Typically it may cause heartburn or a sour or bitter taste in the mouth. Overeating or laying down after a heavy meal may cause it to come on or get worse. caffeine and certain foods like spicy foods may cause your symptoms to get worse. your doctor may suggest doing an upper Endoscopy to document changes. SOmetimes bacteria cause symptoms, and that should be investigated
