I keep looking up Acid Reflux, but all I get is the chronic disease. You know, the shit that you need to change your diet for...

I only get Acid Reflux on rare occasion. Sometimes, while digesting food, stomach acid will flow up my esophagus and up into my throat. I just drink water and wait until it goes away, and it does. And it doesn't come back until some other random time...

I don't think have Acid Reflux Disease, but what is going on here? Is it just indigestion? Or do I actually have this disease? Does this sort of thing just happen to people at random times?

If it's chronic, you usually know. But you can go to an ENT doctor and get an endoscopy and check it out. Prolonged acid reflux can lead to esophageal cancer and some bad things. It's also bad for your vocal cords and shit like that.

I'd advise you seek a professional who can actually examine you instead of asking on 4chan.

Go get it checked & treated ASAP sid best of luck 2 you I have GERD from using Vicodin , being alcoholic , & bulimic

It happens to everyone every once in a while and is somewhat dependent on the diet. Completely normal unless it persists for great lenghts of time.

That is not normal, and it can be dangerous.

A doctor and either an endoscopy and/or a barium x-ray can tell if there is a serious stomach problem or serious esophagus damage.

An acid suppressant like Omeprazole or an acid-reducer like Tums may be prescribed.
