Does salt make acid reflux worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : Table salt added to a meal can increase reflux. The same applies to eating salted foods. Despite this it's not known how salt increases reflux. Some feel that it's the associated type of food that's responsible rather than salt itself.
