I had this myself as an infant, and my son (now 33) inherited the problem. It is caused by the valve between the esophagus and the stomach not closing properly. At the time, we had a dear man as our chiropractor. My mother took me, and then 26 years later, I took my son to him. Our doctor used an acupressure technique. Two treatments was all it took for my son. The only other option was surgery. I have no stomach problems whatsoever; however, my son is prone to heartburn.
