Im experiencing acid reflux whenever i lay down, ive recently had a stomach bug or food poisoning. is this normal and will it go away?

Reflux: Don't lie down unless you've eaten no food for 2 hours. Avoid oily and greasy foods as they slow stomach emptying. Also avoid caffeine,alcohol and nicotine.Reflux after a viral gastroenteritis is not common,so you may have to adhere to these measures permanently. However your symptoms may not become chronic. Time will tell.
