A member asked:
Does emergen-c vitamin c drinks cause acid reflux because capsules cause it for me, just looking for something so i can take vitamin c with out acid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not but...: Most people do not get reflux with emergen-c but the only way to find out is to try it and see- most health food stores sell single packets. Vitamin c in the Ascorbic Acid form can cause reflux but buffered forms generally do not. Emergen-c is partially buffered. If it causes reflux get a pure powder of calcium or magnesium ascorbate and that should work for you.
