My dog ,Joe Cool, has just passed on. Sad. About your acid reflux problem, it is caused by having the wrong kind of acid in your stomach. The problem is made worse by antacids and such because they destroy the HCL your body naturally makes. Keep those antacids handy in case of a burning feeling, but try not to use them. Obtain some Betaine HCL capsules and take a couple after you have started a meal. Soon your stomach acid will be restored and the acid reflux will be gone, The eventual alternative will be death.
