Can bad acid reflux make you flare up ?

I found candied ginger or cimminon disks to be helpful with acid reflux. Also if you chew gum half hour before meal times has helped as well.

For me it's the opposite... I don't think acid reflux causes my flair... but my flair does aggravate my reflux. I had surgery to help my hostel hernia and reflux issues like 20 yrs ago before I was diagnosed with lupus... the surgery and issues after it actually are what activated my lupus and got me diagnosed.
