If you use it, go read the book Why Stomach Acid Is Good For You. It'll show you how the real cause for most us actually not enough stomach acid causing reflux, not too much. Without adequate amounts you don't digest your food and your LES doesn't shut. As the food isn't broken down and it ferments in the stomach, the pressure opens the LES and causes any food to have the ability to come back up, with the tiny bit of acid you have, causing reflux. Instead, have adequate acid to breakdown your food properly and this prevents the LES from opening and causing reflux. You also need stomach acid to signal the body to release enzymes for breaking down carbs, and also releasing bile to aid with breaking down fats.
I've worked with lots of clients on this exact thing as a Nutritional Therapist and it is so common. I've had clients come to me on these prescriptions for 15+ years, with doses only increasing, never decreasing, and it never fully goes away. Instead they just get increased risk of osteoporosis and other issues.
