Acid reflux is not normal as it is an illness which can cause serious side effects over time if not handled properly. There are many things which can be done such as dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes as well as taking medication.

There is no one time cure for reflux.

Approximately one adult in three reports experiencing some occasional reflux, commonly referred to as heartburn. About 10% of these persons experience reflux on a daily basis.

Acid reflux effects your throat. I have cobblestoning in my throat that the doctor said went away from the last visit. Also you can take a tablet called Fomotidine or something like that. I take it and it works wonders. Also acid reflux is common after eating chocolate, onions, tomatoes, and alcohalic beverages.
