Q: i'm following my diet and taking my medicine...i feel fine i know i'm not supposed to eat donuts but i only ate a plain one. is that ok since i have acid reflux?

: It is ok to have an occasional donut. Of course we should all try to eat healthy as much as we can for maintaining our weight and decreasing the potential for lifestyle diseases in the future. Even with reflux, one donut should not bother you.
