A member asked:

Do multivitamin supplements make acid reflux worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Stuart Hickerson answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Possible: Many multivitamins have calcium chloride in them and this often does not bread down well. In fact sometimes the vitamin will pass through the GI tract completely undigested. If this is the case the vitamin could irritate your stomach and make the reflux worse.
