Most people with GERD, especially those who had EC surgery, should take certain measures to enjoy a better night’s rest.

  • Do not eat any food or drink 3 hours before bed
  • Add a wedge underneath your bed or mattress to sleep on an angle
  • Limit your amount of spicy food or alcohol.

If you are experiencing trouble sleeping, you should also take note of other Common Issues and understand the Importance of Nutrition.
