Making some simple lifestyle adjustments can also help alleviate GERD symptoms. Identifying and
avoiding foods that trigger heartburn, consuming smaller and more frequent meals, managing weight
if overweight, and finding relaxation techniques are all beneficial. Additionally, refraining from
eating within 3-4 hours of bedtime is recommended.
