In my case acid reflux is acid backing up out of my stomach into my esophagus. It happens very quickly and is very painful. If it happens frequently, the acid can actually erode your esophagus. On the other hand every time I eat white meat, pork or chicken, especially if it is on the dry side, I get the hiccups. _________________________________________________________________ Get 10MB of e-mail storage!
