Stomach acid : You can see a doctor via telemedicine. In general, I ask a patient with stomach acidity to stop using alcohol, don't; eat late at night, avoid coffee, soda, lose weight if there is a large abdomen. There is a stepwise approach to this. The process can start with a telemedicine doctor
