One thing I do is I stop eating at 3pm everyday. I do this so when I go to bed I have no food in my system for me to get acid reflux. So far I've had no acid reflux.

Do you tilt up the head of the bed. I use a big wedge pillow with other pillows on that.. It almost feels like sitting up halfway..gravity plays a big role in keeping food down..I can eat a little up to 2 hours before getting into bed.

I have Barrett's Esophagus, have had it since around 2012 I think, but I guess mine must be very mild. I am just on 20mg of omeprazole a day and things are good. I have been told the restrictions -- coffee, acid type foods, etc., but my gastro did say that I could have a cup of coffee in the morning if I wanted it, so I do. So far no problem. I am due for an endoscopy soon so I hope it is still the same.
