Question: I was just diagnosed with acid reflux, and I have a few questions!?
I know I should have talked to my doctor about it this afternoon, but I was so rushed for time!. Anyways he got my started on Priolsac (sp!?), but I'm looking for ways to relieve the pain I'm having now!. Any tricks on how I should sleep/what I should eat!? I've been taking hot baths like crazy, but there's so many I can take-my water bill will be off the charts ;)

Try to stay away from acidic foods and drinks - oranges, orange juice, etc
Also, things with carbonation - sprite, mountain dew, etc
and greasy foods - anything fast food or mexican foods
