8) An excess saliva production
This symptom is also known as water brash or acid brash, and it is common in gastroesophageal reflux disease when the gastric juices reach your throat. In these cases, the defense mechanism your mouth has to counter the effect of acid is creating and releasing more saliva. Similar to many other symptoms in GERD, it is possible to reverse water brash by eliminating foods that increase your stomach acid production such as alcohol, chocolate, fatty foods, and spicy foods.
