INDIANAPOLIS — If you have acid reflux, you know what a bummer it can be.
The pain.
The discomfort.
It's caused when the fluid in your stomach leaks back up into your throat, and that's bad because our stomach has a protective lining, but our esophagus does not.
This return of fluid can be painful, uncomfortable, and even damaging to our esophagus, as well as increasing the risk of cancer.
Lisa Kutschera put up with it for years before finally seeking help.
“Sitting by and waiting to feel better, you miss out on life," Kutschera said. "There's activities that you can be doing and steps that can be taken. And I think if you don't get it resolved, whether you really consciously see yourself regressing from participating in activities or not, that happens."
Her doctor provided a prescription that eliminated her symptoms. She felt so much better that she and her son enrolled in a taekwondo program together. And now both are black belts! She just wishes she would have sought help sooner.
