Does stomach acid effect PEP?

Hi, does acidity cause PEP to be less effective? Because after 10min to 20min of taking PEP I had acid reflux.

Answer

Answer: Josh Peasegood

Hi, how are you doing?

No. Stomach acid will not effect PEP. Acid reflux will not cause PEP to work less well.

If you are taking tablets that change the acidity of the stomach e.g., calcium supplements, these can reduce how effective PEP is.
