How to stomach gastroesophageal reflux disease

After a particularly decadent meal – heaped with fried garlic and butter and truffle mushrooms and followed by a thick chocolate mousse, perhaps – it would be normal to feel the urge to belch. And though it may be considered impolite, sometimes what has gone down will find its way back up. And sometimes it comes up burning, feeling like indigestion or heartburn. This is a phenomenon called acid reflux.
