GE Reflux: Avoid late evening meals or heavy snacks. Avoid foods which may promote acid reflux(heartburn) such as citrus products, fatty meal, chocolates, etc. Elevate the head of the bed at least 4-6 inches on blocks or use a wedge. Pillows alone do not work well. Omeprazole(prilosec) 20mg 20-30 minutes before first meal of the day. If a 2nd dose is needed, use 20-30 minutes before evening meal. See md.
