Home / Concerns / Heartburn & Reflux

Heartburn & Reflux

Acid escaping upward from the stomach, usually because the valve at the top is relaxed rather than because there is too much acid. It is why it is worse after a large late meal and worse flat in bed.

What actually helps
  • Antacids for now and then; acid blockers when it happens most days.
  • Eating earlier, and smaller, in the evening.
  • Raising the head of the bed rather than piling up pillows.
  • Knowing your triggers — usually alcohol, coffee, chocolate or late food.
