Most people with this condition report the same symptoms: seemingly acidic saliva, a bitter taste in the mouth, a burning sensation starting in the stomach and rising sometimes as far as the mouth, and pain when swallowing. This benign chronic illness is usually caused by a dysfunction of the esophageal sphincter, the valve that prevents acid from leaving the stomach. There is ** remedy or miracle cure for this condition. Yes, there are some treatments, like taking medication, but before you go there, try making some simple changes to your diet.
