I told my friend I through up in my mouth and have gas a lot. he said those are signs of acid reflex. my mom said not drinking enough water leads to acid reflex and I know I drink more pop (soda) then water. The only sign I don’t have is heartburn. Do you think I have It? what is acid reflex, is it life threatening, and what does it do?

By the sounds of it you don’t have it. I on the other hand do I have it and like you get heartburn and really bad chest pains from some foods such as chicken parm and spicy food. But if you take tums you won’t have that much pain. Also it’s not really life threatening right away, as you get older it kind of is. Like basically if you have it that means you have a small tube inside of you and if you have to much of the food that causes you to get pains and such you’ll fill the tube up causing you to die. But that’s when your way older. Hope that helped

its reflUx. wow
It can be life threatening in very rare circumstances. I have GERD, which is what acid reflux can lead to, and it can cause ulcers and all kinds of problems. Soda definately causes it, you definately have it, but I dont know if not enough water leads to it, thats the first time I heard that. But maybe she just means, drink more water so you are drinking less acidic drinks. Water is one of the few liquids that doesnt cause it
not drinking enuf water has nothing to do with it, your stomach is making to much acid and it comes back up. i had the same problem and my dr perscribed (zantac150).
