my dad has dyspepsia the thing that helped him is to elevate the head of his bed. He put a few thick books under the legs, you want the head end up a few inches. It helps the bile and stuff stay down. Also you need to have a good diet. No greasy foods, tomatoes are bad, use olive oil rather then hydrogenated oils. This helped my dad alot, and bonus he is in better shape. There is pills you can get from your doc, not sure of the name off hand, but my dad had them. If you would like I can call him tomorrow and ask, email if you want me to find out.
