Acid Reflux
Acid Reflux is also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It can be caused by a variety of reasons, but results in acids escaping from the stomach and moving up the throat.

Hydroelectric acid is not a recognized term in chemistry or related fields. However, it may be a misinterpretation or confusion with "hydrochloric acid," a strong acid commonly used in laboratories and industry, or with "hydroelectric power," which refers to electricity generated by harnessing the energy of flowing water. If you meant something else, please provide further context for clarification.
Why mineral acid is stronger than organic acid?
Not all mineral acids are stronger than all organic acids. An acid is a substance which releases hydrogen ions (H+) in water. The greater the degree of ionization, the stronger the acid. Strong acids ionize completely.
One factor in the strength of an acid is the electronegativity of the atoms in it. Electronegative atoms tend to pull electrons away from the acidic hydrogen, making it easier for the ion to break away. The carbon and hydrogen of organic acids have relatively low electronegativities and so have a weak electron pull.
By contrast many of the mineral acids contain multiple oxygen atoms or other electronegative elements such as nitrogen and the halogens.
Curd is not inherently acidic, but it does have a lower pH due to the presence of lactic acid produced during the fermentation process. This acidity gives curd its tangy flavor and contributes to its preservation. The pH of curd typically ranges from about 4.5 to 5.0, indicating mild acidity.
Is hot coffee bad for acid reflux?
I don't think so, although it doesn't help much either; but sugar & or cream/milk in different sequences may have different helpful effects on the coffee. Try it out. Please note: Black tea (e.g. Ceylon-"Assam", not boiled, nor heated, golden brown) alone (=no milk, cream nor sugar) is helpful! Ceylon alone (without Assam) doesn't do that (golden color at room temperature). But water alone is the best dilutant against any acid burning. Just drink a small gulp each time it burns, til the acid stops flowing 15min .. 1/2hr, maybe longer. Note: heat speeds chemical reactions, like acid burning, but diluting with (hot) coffee counteract that effect. Try Maltodextrin tablets (e.g. Beer yeast tablets from Biolabor company, Germany) tucked in the side of your gums, to suck on when burning starts. They are good for your e.g. skin, hair & nails because of vitamin B, Zink etc. & slightly anti_bacterial (against infection) due to the yeast. E.g. also a good tip against slight diarrhea. It works like a beer, without the calories.
Your question was actually, a double (extra loaded one).
Coffee (actually benificial if not over cooked, nor roten. Coffee can mold after more than 4 hrs making people irritable with an irritated stomach.)
Water (of good quality, not hard with too many minerals, dilutes acids), &
raised Temperature (speeds acids).
Is calcium bicarbinate good for acid reflux?
Good & bad!
I don't know "calcium" bicarb"i"nate. (Typo &/or mix_up?)
I know,
sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3, =Na.H.CO3, baking soda),
neutralizes acid (=good)
but overdose is bad (=causes cramps within 2 days).
..Because..
Carbonates (CO3) are unstable,
non_biological molecules (e.g. CaCO3, MgCO3,
simple chemicals, that the body uses imediately, =too fast)
which create cramps up to 2 days later (after taking),
as they decompose in the tissue,
into something more stable.
In
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3)
&/or
Magnesium carbonate (MgCO3):
the carbonate can be neutralized
with a biological (food) acid
like lemon juice (at least 15 minutes, before eating, bubbles off the CO2 gas)
so they don't cause cramps;
but won't neutralize much stomach acid either.
They are used for improving weak bones (Calcium deficiency, Osteoporosis).
I hope that helps (put you back on the right track),
& solve the confusion.
I assume you've mix up 2 different molecules (for treating acid)
(a calcium, & a bicarbonate (instead of carbinate))
& come up with a new chemical
which isn't very popular.
Here I've suggested both of those 2 methods, above.
Wiki says:
Sodium bicarbonate mixed with water can be used as anantacid (=anti_acid)
to treat acid indigestion andheartburn.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_bicarbonate
Name improvement: would be
"Sodium Hydrogen" Carbonate
where carbonate is Carbon tri_oxide, or Carbon "tri_Oxygen".
="Sodium Hydrogen Carbon tri_Oxygen".
Wiki has a page for
Calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO3)2),
which is "water hardness"
producing (hard white) "scale" in pipes
& "stone" in cave rivers etc. (stalactites, stalagmites,)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_bicarbonate
It's a very mild antacid,
which will probably give kidney stones, when taken a long time.
That's a common (overdose) problem
from eating too much (wrong=non_biological) calcium.
Summary
You probably meant:
"Sod"ium, instead of
"Calc"ium; &
Bicarb"o"nate, instead of
Bicarb"i"nate.

Is a concentrated acid always a strong acid?
a strong acid like HF, H2SO4...are stronger when they are concentrated, weaker acids are weak even they are concentrated
Hi, I am not a doctor by any means, and my knowledge of medicine is very limited, so please do not take my advice as a mean to treat or cure anything. My knowledge is based on the fact that I have suffured from GERD since a very young age and now I was diagnosed with Chronic gastritis. From one of my conversations with my doctor, I presented my new diet and he very much agreed with it up to the point of drinking milk. First as a gastritis patient you should limit the amount amount of fat in your meals, this includes milk. Try fatfree milks, they go better with your stomach. The second issue with milk is that contains calcium and although calcium is cointained in many acid-relief pills, it will calm your stomach in the short term, but in the long term it can cause a acid rebound, affecting again your stomach. Therefore it becomes a vicious cycle of relieving and acidulating your stomach. Hopefully this will serve, greetz Bratzo

Why would you have severe acid reflux after a pregnancy if you never had it before?
Our bodies are constantly changing. Someone told me your body changes every five to seven years. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but ...
Some people develop asthma as adults and they never had it as children. Some people have allergies as children and then "grow out" of the allergies when they become adults.
Pregnancy causes some serious changes to your body. I would think developing acid reflux after a pregnancy isn't totally out of the ordinary but I'm not a medical professional!
Acid reflux is extremely common in pregnancy. All of your organs, including your stomach, are displaced because of the uterus enlarging. You also have a whole host of hormones that are changing the way food tastes and what foods will cause reflux symptoms. Try to pay attention to which foods seem to make your symptoms worse and avoid these--often the symptoms will go away after the baby has been delivered.
