A member asked:
Chewing gum (orbit brand containing speramint , aspartame), taken after meals can be good to avoid acid reflux?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acid reflux: aspartame sweetener is not good for acid reflux. Peppermint capsules swallowed twice per day can help. Do not eat late, and avoid alcohol. If you are overweight then lose wt. and because acid reflux can happen at night, best to elevate the head of the bed six inches. Do not smoke.
