I had the gerd condition for awhile already. I am taking medication for it though it only works a little ya. Does anyone know if eating slowly can help with less acid reflux though. Im already doing some things for the gerd condition. I am not sure what else I can do to help with it ya. Any advice would be nice. Thanks.

Hi Asaiangal555,

Try chewing your food to almost liquid. Frequent eating every 3 to 4 hrs. had helped me. Sleeping on the left position could also help. Reclining bed or elevated bed on the upper area could be a relief. Also check what diet will suits you. With my experience, sensitive stomach was not an easy ordeal. You should check what food will suits you. Try to check "LOW FODMAP" food. Some people also were doing SCD diet. SCD diet did not work for me. Found hope on the LOW FODMAP food selections as I like rice.

Some people like me, had developed sensitive stomach, low acid and could be SIBO. I've been battling again what food I can eat. Questions like... it's healthy food but still feeling horrible. It was because I was eating wrong food. Been eating the "High FODMAP" food. Check it out. That might help you. As it is, we are not doctors here but experience on the situation I may have.

All the best.

Hi! I found it very helpful to space out my eating and drinking separate from one another. The less volume I had in my stomach, the better, so I would try to snack, eat and so on during one hour, wait a while, then have my drinks. That way there's less total volume ( Especially liquid/drinks ) to come back up and cause symptoms. As well as completely abstaining from eating/drinking -anything- several hours before bed, so I was laying down with an empty capacity. That did wonders in preventing those flat-laid surges of reflux.

hi Tu Wang

Thanks for your advice. I think I may try out the low fodmap diet since I have gas problems ya. I am not sure yet though. That seems to have some healthy foods to eat ya. I think eating more small meals for me should work ya. The gerd condition just makes me sad though. Thanks.
