I’ve learned I have to wait at least three hours from finishing a meal to laying down or it’s heartburn time
Thanks for the tip
this has also been a game changer for me too. I used to eat "whenever" including late at night. if it was significant in amount and/or acidic, it was brutal. I probably almost aspirated partially digested food like half a dozen times, waking up choking and needing an antacid. I kept a big container of CVS knock offs in the medicine cabinet.
once I instituted a hard rule of no food (only water and brewed tea) after 7 pm, no more problems. I've gotten more strict in the last 6 months and now never eat after 5:30pm (5 hours before bed) and I have legit forgotten this used to be a bad problem for me.
