How true! Sadly, there is little or no education regarding the consequences of poor eating habits, weight gain, lifestyle choices and poor health advice prior to becoming aware of symptoms which signify already changed organ health.
It may be only one or two of these significant factors which are the trigger for acid reflux but the long term health issues can be life threatening. Thankfully, there is large amounts of published material and advice available online. Having forums like this can be a life saver. Thank you.
