Reflux: Avoid chocolate , alcohol, tobacco, lying down prior to 3 hours after meals, wearing tight waisted clothing.Walking may help if there is a motility problem( if the food passes slowly or gets stuck in the esophagus).If all this fails to give significant relief, see your doctor.The rx works like magic.
