Anyone suffered recently? I'm thinking maybe it's my position on the bike because I only really get it when upright on the tops , goes away again after 5 mins on the drops?

I dont suffer acid reflux or anything, this is only when riding the bike.

Acid Reflux is heartburn...

Thought of taking some gaviscon or bicarbonate of soda a little while before going on a ride next time and see if you still get the same symptoms?

You want to avoid cycling on a full stomach ideally, and perhaps try to see if it is certain types of foods in your diet that is triggering the indigestion, and cut them out.

Does a cycling forum give you heartburn?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
