Does too much fiber cause acid reflux?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too much?: "Too much fiber" means different things to different people, so there's no way to guess what it means in this question. That said, extra dietary fiber beyond average intake will lead to more intestinal gas... just like in cows when they eat grass. Haven't heard of extra fiber causing stomach acid reflux problems.
