A doctor has provided 1 answer

Acid reflux: Treatment of acid reflux mandates lifestyle changes - medication alone is not the answer. Avoidance of food triggers is essentail in addition to small frequent feedings, bed head elevation to 4-6 inches and avoiding food 2-3 hours before bedtime. Cold drinks relax the gastroesophageal sphincter - warm liquids may be more comforting. Been there, still there and still enjoying life!
