A member asked:
With gerd, should you avoid leaning back in a recliner after you eat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Head above stomach : In most cases keeping the head higher than the stomach will assist in reflux. Reclining is fine, in fact, I recommend my patients use a pillow wedge at night to prevent overnight positional reflux with supine position, or lift the back legs of the bed with a brick to provide gentle slope. The question of how much to recline is 30 to 45 degrees. Hope that helps
