It does sound like heart burn but I believe acid reflux and heartburn are tied together. This is why. I used to have heartburn and acid reflux happening some days at the same time as well as other days separately. I no longer have either one anymore and am confident since it is gone I have discovered why. After spending several years of research and much trial and error I came to find out I was Intolerant to a small group of foods after taking a food intolerance test through the ThinkRite system. I came across them one day while doing research on leaky gut syndrome. I had heard that when you have leaky gut one of the symptoms of having it can be slight to severe inflammation which can lead to heartburn, acid reflux as well as other problems if left untreated. After receiving my test results and finding they came back positive on several foods, I removed them immediately and followed the regiment that they suggested I follow. Nothing really happened till after about 6 weeks and immediately all heartburn and reflux left and never returned. The reason I am certain that this was the answer (at least for me) was because if I ever want the reflux or heartburn to return ( of course who would?) all I have to do is go back to eating the foods that came up as positive on my test. After about two to three days all my symptoms would completely return. This was sort of aggravating to me because I was having several kinds of allergy and other tests from several different physicians and naturopaths but nothing conclusive or at least helpful ever really came from any of the tests they had me take (and most of the tests were very expensive) so I decided to go out on my own and search for answers since it seemed that I wasn't getting anywhere with the help I was receiving. I'm happy I did. There are many tests out there and that's a fact but I can honestly say that this was the one that made the difference for me. I am now positive that leaky gut was the problem and believe that many people take this condition too lightly and even the ones that are aware of it do not know how to properly treat the problem and stop its progression. Best of luck!It does sound like heart burn but I believe acid reflux and heartburn are tied together. This is why.
