Mr. Lybrate-user, acid reflux is a functional disorder. Though many theories are there for its cause but still no cause has been established thoroughly. I would advise you for the following: 1. Do not stay empty stomach for long durations, have small meals at small intervals. 2. Exercise daily and take small amounts of protein foods/drinks. 3. Have lots of fruits and vegetables, provided fruits do not aggravate your problems. 4. Have meal two hours before the bed time and do not take drinks like tea or coffee before going to bed. 5. Do not over consume liquor, though you can have small amounts but not empty stomach. 6. Proper sleep is must. 7. Do not over stress yourself with work or family issues, feel confident that you can manage any situation and things are well in control. Planning is good but expectations before any task are bad because they give disappointments, just plan and act and do not believe in result until and unless you get it as desired. 8. Spicy fried and fat foods are not good for you. 9. Avoid much of bakery items and fast foods. 10. You should begin some stress buster activity like cycling, swimming, cooking, short vaccations on weekends, free time with friends and family. All these things will help you in tackling your problem, but you shall follow these advises for a few months, because it takes time to change habits. Hope for you a speedy recovery.
