Managing nighttime acid reflux

Wedges are suggested so you can sit up, well-supported, even though in bed….it really is about letting gravity help carry your food/drink down through your digestive system…laying down too soon after eating can bring on reflux and/or mucus…time varies, but i have heard don’t lie flat for about 1 1/2-2 hours after eating..seems to help.

@nycmusic correct, as a nurse I advised many patients to eat a lighter meal for supper or early to let the digestion begin before bedtime, if you do eat late try sitting up for awhile before laying flat or else use a wedge or 2 pillows if you can’t purchase this item.

I use wedge I bought on Amazon plus2 pillows to keep me high, but I slide down. I don’t lie flat at all. I wonder if blocks under bed legs would be much better or not.
