A member asked:

I had duodenal bile reflux (confirmed on egd). the nurse asked me if i tried "overhydration" with water. i don't understand. why would that help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hydration: Water will dilute the acid in your stomach. Water intake at least 64oz per day has lot of benefits.
