A member asked:

I don't eat carbs at night and i don't chew gum. i'm acidic, does that have to do with it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be: First of all look for the cause if you think you are acidic. Patient has more then 1 reason for having acidreflux. I would consult my md to look for the cause. Good luck.
