As if IBS isn't crappy enough, I also have acid reflux. My dr doesnt want to give me medication for it becasue he said that the meds typically casue diarrhea, which is something I definately don't need more of. So he told me to just take zantac when I need to. My mother in law suggested Apple cider vingar. Has anyone else heard of this? Wouldn't that make it worse?Jenn

I was also told to stop smoking. I did stop after 24 years, pack and half a day. Now I have not had one in 9 months. All the BS about smoking, I now find out isn't so true. I still have allot of things wrong that they siad, well if you'd quit smoking. I have gained 25 pounds which is even worse I think with acid reflux. I tell people why bother to quit? If I didn't work my butt off to quit and wasn't for my kids giving me heck, I would go back to it in a heart beat.Anyway stay away from Maylox and stuff that has magnesium in it. It does cause more D.Good luck

luckly i stopped smoking almost a year ago, i don't think you should go back. it's icky
