TO have quit smoking is great for ur health, but it may have cause other issues...and acid reflux can be the result of smoking.

Please get under a drs care to help u with this transition.

The issues r not due to quiting, more from smoking itself and may have been masked by smoking.

Please see the Health Pages for tips on lifestyle changes and diet to aid in calming these symptoms.

Just a quick FYI- it can sometimes take awhile to see positive effects of these meds so do be patient.

Good Luck
