DO I have it?

OK, so I posted a question not too long ago wondering what this thing is in the back of my throat, and well, I have a doc appt tomorrow to find out.

many times i find that a hiatal hernia can be a cause of acid reflux......see a chiropractor

If hiatal hernia is ruled out, there are several ways to do this........................if it a baby, one need to change the formula, if one is not breast feeding. (A hiatal hernia can also cause breathing problems, or difficulties)
