Lifestyle Modifications to Reduce Reflux: Elevate the head of the bed by 6-8 inches (not just pillows) Eat smaller, more frequent meals control portions Avoid late-night eating (absolutely no food 3 hours before bed) Eliminate acid triggers: No citrus, tomatoes, chocolate, coffee, alcohol, mint, fried foods, or carbonated drinks Lose excess weight, especially belly fat (which increases intra-abdominal pressure) Dont eat and then lie down, sit up for 2 hours before lying down For patients with severe symptoms despite medications, surgical options like LINX procedure (magnetic ring around the LES) or Nissen fundoplication (stomach wrap to strengthen the LES) may be considered
Patients following such a diet, should be advised to take oral vitamin B 12 regularly
