Are some people more prone to having heartburn than others?
I, as far as I know, have never had heartburn. Or, maybe I’ve had it once or twice but I can’t be sure. I’m 25 years old and I don’t exactly eat the most perfect diet. I have my share of hamburgers, fried and fatty foods, and anything else that can cause heartburn. Yet I never seem to get it. Even with both my pregnancies, when heartburn is usually a common symptom, I never had it. Both my parents get heartburn from time to time.
Is this something that some people are more prone to getting than others?

Yes, pregnancy, obesity, diabetes, hiatal hernia, and sometimes genetics make some people prone to reflux.
