Prevent: 1. Lose weight. Obesity is the leading cause of GERD, Dr. says. Extra stomach fat places pressure on your abdomen, pushing gastric juices up into your esophagus. "Lose weight if you're overweight, and don't gain weight if you're not, he says. 2. Avoid foods known to cause reflux. If you're at risk for GERD, avoid: Fatty foods Spicy foods Acidic foods, like tomatoes and citrus Mint Chocolate Onions Coffee or any caffeinated beverage Carbonated beverages 3. Eat smaller meals. Large meals fill the stomach and put pressure on the LES, making reflux and GERD more likely. 4. Don't lie down after eating. Wait at least three hours before you lie down after a meal. Gravity normally helps keep acid reflux from developing. When you eat a meal and then stretch out for a nap, you're taking gravity out of the equation. As a result, acid more easily presses against the LES and flows into the esophagus. 5. Elevate your bed. Raising the head of your bed six to eight inches can help gravity keep gastric acid down in your stomach. You could also use a wedge-shaped support. Don't use extra pillows, as they only raise your head and will not help with GERD. You need your entire upper body elevated to get relief. 6. Review your medications. There are a number of medications that can increase your risk of GERD, either by relaxing the LES, interfering with the digestive process, or further irritating an already inflamed esophagus.
