Homework help? Please answer?
School started for us last Wednesday and there already giving us homework (I’m not complaining)
My homework assignment is for my health class. I have to write a report on Acid Reflux. I know what acid reflux is but I need more information about it. Does anyone know of any articles or websites where I can find more information? This is what I need to include in my report:
What acid reflux is
how many people are affected by acid reflux
signs and symptoms
What causes acid reflux
foods to avoid
acid reflux treatments
natural treatments for acid reflux (I’m including this in my report cause my teacher is into natural health stuff and so am I)
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
