What is the difference between heartburn,indigestion, & acid reflux?
I had a slight burning sensation in my throat all day and then when I went to bed and laid down I felt like bile come up into my throat. I had to sleep sitting down.
Adhouse, hope this doesn't sound too stupid but aren't bile and acid the same thing?

heartburn and acid reflux are the same thing. They are when your stomach pushes acid up into your esophagus. Indigestion is just a general term for problems with digestion, such as bloating or diarrhea or anything like that. Bile cannot come up into your throat unless you throw up. It is in your small intestine, not your stomach.

This book is probably the most informative and practical guide on the subject of acid reflux and heartburn that I have ever read https://tr.im/acidrefluxcauses
I was prescribed Lansoprazole which was brilliant but after two years of aching joints, extreme muscle pain which the doc gave me cortisone jags for, with some research I discovered the drug Lansoprazole was causing these rare side effects but it was I who diagnosed it NOT my doctor, I came off the drug 2 months ago, changed my diet and discovered just eating an apple stops any acid reflux, I eat an apple before bed, brilliant no acid, any time I feel the slightest sign of reflux I simply eat an apple. Apple juice is not that good nor is anything else I have tried including honey at stopping reflux.
