Is garlic and garlic powder harmful or helpful or neither for those who suffer from acid reflux? i've heard different things. also, is tomato sauce and decaf coffee out of the question?

Acid reflux: Many patients improve on Nystatin oral solution (anti yeast that affects the cardiac valve between the stomach and esophagus) as well as Heartburn Free, an orange peel supplements that tightens the valve. Garlic works because it is anti-yeast but may irritate the stomach and make one more prone to bleeding. Tomato sauce and coffee are acidic, which causes yeast to grow.
