What can I do to reduce reflux?
• If overweight, lose weight
• Avoid tight clothing
• Limit the consumption of coffee, nicotine and alcohol (especially
red and white wine)
• Avoid fatty foods
• Eat smaller meals. If necessary increase meal frequency rather
than size
• Do not eat a full meal before going to bed
• Reduce your intake of coffee, black tea, peppermint, chocolate,
tomato, coke, carbonated drinks and citrus fruit juices
• Some medicines can intensify acid reflux. Consult your GP. In
some cases it may be possible to switch to less predisposing
medication
