1. Always wait at least 1 hour after you eat before you lie down. The wait will give your stomach a chance to catch up and digest some of the food. So, later when you do lay down, it won't be burning in your throat.
2. Limit your spicy/acidic foods. This one is super hard for me. I love spicy foods! Salsa, curry, wasabi, chili, hot sauce, and the list goes on, but unfortunately, they are insides relationships. They don't love me back.
3. Ginger is a great stomach settler. When I was pregnant, I stand ginger tea, ginger ale, and ate ginger snaps to ease my all-day-sickness. I still use it for bad cases of indigestion!
4. Don't over eat. Eating to much is bad for acid reflux sufferers. A bursting stomach full of food and acid would spell trouble for anyone. So do your body a favor, eat only till you're comfortable.
5. Eating black licorice relieves heartburn. DGL, a form of licorice, promotes mucous production. That mucous protects your esophagus and stomach from harmful acid. DGL comes in a tablet form as well.
