Listen to this man. I was about to do a small write up on this entire subject with solutions and this was going to be one of them.
The problem is UNDERPRODUCTION of stomach acid that causes bloating and reflux! I know seems backwards but trust me it is not!! Lol
The sphincter connecting the esophagus and stomach needs a certain amount of pressure to stay closed fully and without sufficient hydrochloric acid (your stomach makes this amazing huh) the valve will be open slightly or more and carbon dioxide bubbles and really hydraulics pushes bits of acid into the throat causing heartburn/acid reflux.
