I recently went to the doctor because I was having chest pains and abdominal pains. They told me acid reflux was the cause. That I was eating too much things causing this. For instance, pepper, onions, coffee, chocolate etc. So they prescribed me a type of antacid medication to reduce the acid. Its really only been a couple days, and the pain has decreased somewhat. But i've noticed, that I haven't had to go to the restroom to do number 2 for 2 days now. Can this be because of the medication, that is reducing the acid, therefore causing the digestion to go slower? Can anyone help? Thanks.
