Acid reflux is very common in fact 1 in 10 people get acid reflux almost every day! In this weeks video I’m going to give you some great tips that should really help.

MAIN SYMPTOMS OF ACID REFLUX:

• Heartburn – a burning sensation in the middle of your chest

• An unpleasant sour taste in your mouth, caused by stomach acid

You may also have:

• Cough or hiccups that keep coming back
