What Causes Acid Reflux And Nausea After Taking Acidophilus?
Hello, I have been taking acidophilus thinking it might be helpful for digestive sensitivity. However, it seems to have increased incidences of acid reflux and nausea. Is it just a passing thing or does the supplement have this effect on people with this condition?
