Got radioio80s on, and they're playing The Godfathers for me.

Well, somebody covering the Godfathers, but still. It's the thought that counts.

GERD

Is this what you suffer from?

Im sure I have got it, and was wondering if you had any tips of how to control it?


Cheers!

I've had it in the past. Some general tips:

• Don't lie down/recline after eating.
• Avoid more acidic foods (tomato sauce is a trigger for me).
• Avoid carbonated beverages.

YMMV, but those helped me when I was having active symptoms. It's less of a problem for me now, but I try to eat far enough away from bedtime so that the first point doesn't apply, and the others are just things I keep my eye on now.

Thanks very much!The zantac seems to be working a treat..:)I work evenings so the not eating before going to bed thing will be a problem - but Im going to have to try it to stop the indigestion.

Cheers!

Yeah, when my work schedule was 12n-8p, I'd have to eat at work (6ish usually) and then intentionally not snack before going to bed at 12m or 1a or whatever.

And yet last night I had a late (8-10p) and huge dinner, then collapsed in bed by 12a, and had heartburn. Go figure. :)
