I'm curious if any hackers have knowledge of this -- firsthand or otherwise. A student asked me if I knew what might be causing her heartburn. I'm thinking of suggesting she eat whole eggs b/c from the sounds of it, she's probably eating too low fat.

Edit to add: She mentioned she had been eating chocolate as her only "bad food", but that she was refluxing big time after a lunch of salad and egg whites. Hence my question.

UPDATE 12/15/11: I have not gotten any feedback, though I did suggest she lay off the eggs entirely to see if it helped. I'll try to remember to ask for an update. THANKS for all the input gang!
