I had a Colonoscapy 1.5 year ago . I woke up with a violent cough, after much meds to stop this they send me home, 3 day later I got pneumonia. During the procedure I aspirated stomach fluids. I wish my doctor would have told me this could happen as he told me after , that is one of the effects of a Colonoscapy. My health and stomach has never been the same .
It pays to do research i foud to maintain a balance of alkaline and acidic food help with reflux. I cut out all tomato sauce, cheese, chocolate, peppermint, and spicy food , it is not the perfect solution but it helps . The pain i had in my stomach and lower esophagus was what determined me to take the meds as reflux can permanently cause damage . Apples have pectin which help neutralize the acid, so I eat a half peeled apple in the evening before bed . I do lye first on my left side but my hipe hurt to much to sleep all night on it and can't sleep on my back. I hope you can glean some from this conversation. I wish you the best with your trials

@petry Yes, Thank you. I do know about what we should avoid,.
I like the idea of the apple a few hours before bed.
I do eat apples a good few times a week in the morning. I cut up the peeled apples to the shape of half moons and put a nut butter on them and then pumpkin seeds, flaxseed meal, sunflower seeds, hemp hearts on the slices I also put peeled cut up apples in my cooked oatmeal or steel oats.
That was not a pleasant experience you went through after the colonoscopy. I do know things can happen with just about any test....it certainly is disturbing mentally and emotionally, also, when it happens.
Up until this year, for a good few years before, I could not sit a certain way due tail bone pain. I have been doing leg exercises in bed each morning, simple ones, and walking fifteen minutes in the house. The layout of my house on the hardwood floors enables me to do this walking in the house. I walk in the house to avoid cold/hot weather and inclement weather etc. etc. Since doing that for a couple of years I no longer experience that pain associated with the tail bone.
