@roch I bought a special mattress that fits on top of my mattress on Amazon. It was about $200 and I sleep with that Plus on pillows and I put a wedge underneath my knees so that I won't have a sore back and when I wake up at night, I make sure I'm still up high. I had to go on two omeprazole a day because I was having reflux episodes 40 mg in the morning and 40 mg at night at 7 PM. I get up at around 4:15 in the morning and start my exercise and my drinking water and then I eat it around 5:30 my first breakfast my second breakfast at 8:30 my lunch shit around 1 o'clock and my last meal at 4:30, which is a very very, very small meal. I try to drink about 10 glasses of water a day mostly because I'm the kind of person that makes stones, but I think it also helps my IBS. I'm almost 7 years past surgery, but I took swallowing lessons because I had aspirational pneumonia in July but that was because I had uncontrollable refluxes in December January, March and June and July and that's when I got on the extra omeprazole so I've only had two tiny little bouts of reflux since July nothing nothing nothing like what I had before when it was 40 minutes of burning throat coat. Tea is very helpful if you wake up with very bad burning at that time I also took Pepto-Bismol and Pepcid I also take three 20 mg of Pepcid a day. I do have trouble burping a lot, which cannot be fixed. Says my Gastro so I take two times at around 10:10 AM. I do have a lot of phlegm. I hope some of this helps you naomi shapiro.
