Tip 1: Heartburn waking you up at night? Lying down makes it easier for stomach acids to splash up into your esophagus. To keep acid down, use gravity. Place an extra pillow or two under your shoulders or use a wedge-shaped pillow to prop yourself up. Not enough? Boost the head of your bed 6-8 inches with wood blocks secured under the bedposts. Sleeping on your left side can also help digestion.
Tip 7: Say No To Nightcaps. Any type of alcohol can trigger heartburn. If you drink alcohol and have reflux at night, try easing back on wine or beer with dinner. And avoid after-dinner drinks altogether. Besides, drinking alcohol can lead you to overeat.
Tip 10: Avoid the afterdinner mints. A peppermint after dinner may sound soothing. But many people experience heartburn after eating mints. Research suggests that mint may relax the valve at the top of the stomach, making food more likely to flow back into the esophagus. To be safe, pass on the peppermints.
