I am going to ask you to investigate and answer the following questions. I will assign you into groups and make your posts in the discussion forum under indigestion wiki. Please do check out other resources, the youtube videos are just meant to start you off. Please quote your references too.


 * Group 1 and 2- Acid reflux/heartburn:** Explain what is acid reflux and heartburn. Explain how the remedies mentioned by the authors in the following 2 videos can help reduce acid reflux and heartburn. Remember they are using layman's language, but you should be making explanations based on evidence and linking them to your answers (use CER). A quick tip, jot down what the remedies are as they rattle off, so you can do your internet research on what they say.
