Weirdly, I've also heard from people in that situation that more acid => less reflux because the sphincter only closes in high-pH environments. So one of the things prescribed can be hydrochloric acid supplements. Some people swear by them.
- dkersten 3y agoSymptoms of chronic acid reflux, laryngopharyngeal reflux and heartburn can also be caused by hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid), in which case taking hydrochloric acid will obviously also reduce the symptoms in that case.

- dghughes 3y agoI've started drinking shrub drinks (berries plus vinegar) they're not super acidic but it's just a funny coincidence after seeing your comment.
