Cutting down on fatty foods will help reduce the amount of stomach acid. Fatty foods remain in the stomach longer than others, thus delaying the emptying of the stomach and allowing for production of more stomach acid.

In addition to fatty foods, certain other foods will increase acid production in your stomach. These foods, including coffee and tea (both decaffeinated and regular), citrus fruits, and tomatoes, should be avoided. Onions are particularly troublesome. People with heartburn often drink milk to try to soothe the burning feeling. But this may be counterproductive; while the milk may feel good going down, it is a fatty food that will cause the stomach to produce a good quantity of acid. Then you're right back where you began.

Don't bend, stoop, or lie down right after eating. Many people love to eat a big meal and then collapse on the sofa or in a lounge chair. Some people go to bed right after eating. The problem with this is that your stomach is fighting gravity. You're much more likely to have acid flushing back into your esophagus when you're lying down. I had one patient who would wake every night with terrible heartburn. When he told me that he ate dinner at around 10 p.m., I knew the source of his trouble. As soon as he started eating earlier, his heartburn disappeared.

If you tend to get heartburn during the night, elevate the head of your bed by lifting the bed frame two to three inches. By keeping your head higher than your feet, you'll be helping to prevent the acid from flushing back out of the stomach.

Your sleep position can also promote heartburn. Lying on your right side encourages stomach acid to wash into the esophagus, triggering a burning sensation. Switching to your left side will eliminate the problem.

Stop smoking. We know that smoking releases the tension in the muscle separating the esophagus from the stomach. Because of this, regular smokers are much more likely to develop heartburn than nonsmokers. Drinking alcohol is also likely to promote heartburn. Cut down or eliminate your alcohol consumption. Sometimes taking one or two acidophilus capsules, available at health food stores, can relieve your symptoms. Stress can also aggravate heartburn; learning to control it can help relieve symptoms. Finally, tetracycline and other Antibiotics , slow-release potassium, aspirin, and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can irritate the lining of the stomach. If they're taken at night, they can irritate the esophagus when you lie down. Ill some patients, they can actually cause gastric ulcer or bleeding.
