I've never had a problem with it. Came across it for the first time on this list.

I followed a discussion about reflux before on vocalist and I was puzzled, I've been singing in the UK for 40 years, and rather than "having to be continually vigilant about reflux" I'd actually never heard the word used until I saw it in a posting here.
Now, I take it that what we're talking about what is called "heartburn" in common Brit-speak - but that's still not something that I've ever worried about as a singer, or know anyone else worry about.
Have I, or the singing circles I've moved in, just been lucky? Or is there some cultural difference in diet or lifestyles that makes this a US issue? I'd be intrigued to know if other UK/European singers see "reflux" as a significant problem to guard against.
