What are you doing for acid reflux?

I have recently(3 months) using apple juice and aloe gel(2oz) daily and have had zero instances of heartburn or AR.
When I started I would down 2oz of the gel when I got an attack and it killed it quickly.
 
Yeah, I need to shed a few pounds which would probably help a lot. Lost 40 last year then gained 20 back when I messed up my knee and couldn't walk the dog 5 miles a day like I used to.

As for giving up booze... If some Bourbon on the weekend to go with a cigar kills me, so be it.

^^ THIS ^^ Lost 26 pounds on keto and have kept it up going on 3 years now. AR pretty much disappeared, same with snoring, but giving up Bourbon? That's just crazy talk...
 
Avoid chemicals (aka medication) for preventable problems at all costs! All of my siblings are on medication for reflux, except me.
Everyone is different. The left side sleeping has zero effect for me.
For me it's simple. For dinner if I eat too late, a high fat meal, high acid meal, or simply eat too much, I'm going to have a rough night. Any combination of those things just compounds it. High fat is way way worse than high acid for me.
Recently I noticed if I felt I was going to have problems, a small bowl of cereal and milk before bed helps you immensely. No idea why. I tend not to question success.
 
At 45 yrs old and 309lbs on my 5’10” frame heart burn was a daily/nightly event. I treated it to the point I was pooping chalk. I joined a gym started working out and a year and a half later I’m down to 240lbs in better shape than I’ve been in in years and haven’t suffered from heartburn since I lost the 1st 10lbs. I try to limit acidic foods but I’m at the point where I can even eat pizza after 6pm and not suffer at night. Good luck on your journey and hope you find the answer that suits you best! 👍
