Sleep with your head higher than your stomach (use a wedge or a couple of pillows), don't eat for at least three hours before bed, avoid acidic foods (coffee, citrus, tomatoes) and alcohol. You can also try an acid neurtalizer, like Maalox, Pepto-Bismol, Mylanta, or milk of magnesia before bed. Even a little baking soda in a small glass of water can help (follow the directions on the box). Talk to your pharmacist about what works the best; he/she may have more ideas.

lose weight.. eat a better diet.. stay away from spicy foods, acidic foods and alcohol.
sorry but it's better to do this than to choke to death on a ruptured esophagus!
acid reflux can kill.
no kidding.
a well balanced diet here ya go: www.mypyramid.gov is a great way to stop two parts of the reasons why we get gerd and acid reflux disease.
i had acid reflux.. i keep my weight down and the alcohol away.... fresh produce so i don't get those spices and chemicals that give me heartburn. i find canned foods, packaged foods, frozen... foods with alot of artificial flavors and preservatives give my stomach big problems... i got sick or waking up from a sound sleep nearly choking to death because acid squirted up into my throat.. what a drag it was.
oh and cutting down on smoking helps too.
also not eating after 6pm or 7pm sure helps!

i do not understand some thing about the NBA being in Europe yet i'm very acquainted with the NHL doing their annual excursions in the course of the pre-season and it continuously produces further followers for NHL communities. With MLB I experience it will be a blended bag in an attempt to speak - the american previous time meets the British previous time of football (football)? initially i might want to assume the strong British to take position in droves to work out the "Yankees" as, properly face it they have arguably between the ultimate names in activities - i do not imagine they can assume to attain better of an target audience than say Manchester United. followers would or would no longer spoil out in fights contained in the stands. at present there are hockey golf equipment throughout large Britain - i imagine baseball would properly be a perplexing promote because of the cricket followers. i have considered some Cricket Qs in this website in Baseball and they are not pleasant in the route of baseball gamers or followers right here. i imagine that's a strong concept yet i might want to wish that MLB chooses wisely. i'm no longer offered on the concept large Britain will take to baseball as say Japan or different Asian and South American international places have. Italy gained't take to it besides as say the Netherlands. contained in the authentic, I speculate that the ultimate fulfillment will come from Netherlands, Belgium, or perhaps the tinier united states of america of Luxembourg the position generic George "Blood and Gutts" Patton is buried.

there really isn't a cure for acid reflux. my mom has that. and you just have to take medication that your doctor prescribes and change your eating habits. Also what was suggested to my mom was to sleep with your bed elevated that helps the acid from coming up.

Take zantac every day according to the instructions for 10 days and then take it every time you need it. It really helps.
