Have you ever wondered if that spicy taco you regretted eating not only set your throat on fire but also had a hand in your migraine?  The gut and brain are in constant communication via nerves, hormones, and our immune system. Good gut health is essential for overall well-being. When something's off, like stress in the brain or troubles in the gut, this communication can be disrupted.  So, if you've got GERD, it might cause headaches and vice versa.  People with migraines often have more acid reflux than those without, and resolving acid problems can cut down on headaches for many.
