It also explains how and why the reflux epidemic is related to the use of acid as a food preservative.</b><br><br>Dr. Koufman defines the symptoms this shockingly common disease and explains why a change in diet can alleviate some of the most common symptoms. Dropping Acid offers a dietary cure for acid reflux, as well as lists of the best and worst foods for a reflux sufferer.
