I mean, it's an acid, right? Yes, I've had the problem for many years because of a hiatal hernia and a condition called GERD. So much acid bubbled up into my esophagus, the doc had to stretch it to break a stricture caused by scar tissue. Yeah, lots of fun. Now, I take a daily prescription medication, and things are mostly under control. When the indigestion pops up, I take a healthy swig of extra strength Gaviscon. But pickle juice? No, I've never tried that...
