There are many ways to help prevent acid reflux, indigestion, GERD and heartburn. Some helpful ways to curb these problems are:
Keep your weight down
Avoid large and/or fatty meals
Eat slowly
Do not eat before bedtime
Raise the head of your bed
Avoid chocolate, carbonated beverages, caffeine, spicy foods, raw onions, chili, peppermint, citrus, mustard, fried foods, tomato-based foods, fruit juice and alcohol
Do not lie flat or bend over after eating
Do not wear tight-fitting clothing around the stomach
Stop smoking
Consult with your doctor to see if there is an over-the-counter or prescription aid for your problem. Be sure to give your doctor a full list of any other medications or supplements that you may be taking.
I hope this information will help curb your acid and/or indigestion problems.
Thank you for stopping by.

I have quite a few problems with the stomach and intestines. Thank you for sharing helpful tips.
I am fine unless I overeat, which I try to avoid
Glad I could be of some help!
Nice information. I’m bloated so your article has provided me with some changes I need to make in my life.
Great tips. If I get stressed out I can have problems, but I have learned to meditate. It helps most of the time.
If we could edit our posts, I could add that. lol
Very good write and helpful article. Thank you for sharing
I take homoeopathy for minor ailments.
Good advice, it is a process. When I was younger I could eat anything. Now I am a lot more careful, I find time of day is the biggest issue for me.
