Acid reflux happens when stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus, causing:
● Burning in the chest (heartburn)
● Sour taste in the mouth
● Bloating and belching
● Tightness in the throat
But did you know acid reflux isn’t always caused by too much stomach acid?
In fact, low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) is often the hidden cause — especially in women over 40, people with thyroid issues, and chronic PPI users.
