X-Post: Don't ignore heartburn or reflux...and here's why!
I was asked to X-post this article on the direct correlation between reflux/heartburn and cancer. A quick read and good info!

I have a good friend who died of esophageal cancer from ignoring her REFLUX. I tell people regularly DO NOT IGNORE your Reflux. As a lapbander I didn't have any reflux until the scar tissue built up and tightened my band until I couldn't even drink water. My Reflux was so bad, I was having a lot of discomfort through out the day. Thanks for posting this, I hope people read it. There are other issues related to Reflux that are also very serious. Cancer is just one of them.
