Answer 1

Doctor told me the top 3 things to avoid are:
alcohol
tobacco
caffeine

As has been mentioned, small, frequent meals are better. Lose weight (if you're overweight). Spicy foods tend to aggravate this. Don't expect to stop acid reflux by taking medicine alone. Lifestyle and diet changes are almost always necessary!

You should talk to your GP about this if you haven't already. Prolonged untreated acid reflux (heartburn) can lead to other things. One study found that people who have frequent heartburn also have a 10% increased chance of developing esophogeal cancer.
