Constipation and GERD? Magnesium treatment.
Constipation. Could Constipation Contribute to GERD? Hm... Yes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijTSu...

 Constipation is a very common problem ,but how it could contribute to gastroesophageal reflux disease?

Constipation means that food does not move from upper digestive tract down, meaning that person has no stool for more then a day. Food stays in the large and small intestine. When new food arrives, digestive tract still has partially digested food and "new" food has almost no place to go. Also, when food stays in the digestive tract for more then 48hs, it's become rotten and a lot of gas got form. Gas irritates the digestive tract creating an inflammation. Low grade inflammation in large and small intestine could easy spread into the stomach. Low grade inflammation in the stomach will cause decreased production of HCL (hydrochloric acid). 

The consequences of low HCL: food will stay in the stomach more then 1 hr 30 min and LES (low esophageal sphincter) will become "tired" , small opening will get form and food with HCL may go into the esophagus, creating GERD/ gastroesophageal reflux disease / heartburn.  
Constipation should be treated first.
