A member asked:

I have a case of a bad acid reflex and gastritis should i stop taking my vitamins?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: On which vitamins. Oddly enough gerd is often related to loss of acid rather than an excess and taking betaine stimulates acid secretion. It helps to know whether it is low or high acid that is responsible.
