GERD relief

[vaneramos]

Thanks to daisydumont and poetbear for telling me about GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), which I probably have, although it hasn't been diagnosed. Since mentioning the symptoms in a post on Wednesday, I have tried a couple new strategies that I read about:

• Never drinking any fluids at the same time as solid food—before or after a meal or snack okay, but not during.


• Eating a large meal in the middle of the day and a small one in the evening.

This is in addition to quitting coffee almost a month ago and avoiding alcohol except rye for the past week.

I'm not sure what made the difference, but after suffering from acid reflux on nearly a daily basis for the past several months, it has stopped since Wednesday night.
