Acid Reflux

[ashauler]

I think if you are getting acid reflux you are doing exactly the right thing by putting the smoke down. Your body is trying to tell you that something is irritating it. Why mask the symptoms and keep aggrevating the situation? It's kind of like putting the fork down when you're full.

Well, I guess because the alternative is not getting to enjoy the cigar. My favorite food, tex-mex, fires up the reflux everytime....but I ain't givin that up either.

Well, the cure for allergies is being exposed to them... maybe it's the same for acid reflux.

I haven't heard of a relationship between smoking cigars and acid reflux.

However, the antacids should help. It is ok to use them before a cigar in order to help with the problem. Antacids aren't really masking the problem as Shelby stated, they are actually neutralizing the acid.

But if it is an everyday problem for you, regardless of whether you are smoking or not, by all means go see a doctor.
