Thank you, Patty, for sharing this. I found a few things helpful. Instead of eating three larger meals a day, I now eat several smaller meals. After lunch, which is usually a bit bigger, I work in the recliner because the nurse who manages my Help at Home case at the senior center said that if you sit up straight after eating, it puts more pressure in the area where heartburn occurs. If I want a soda or Cappuccino, which can trigger heartburn, I drink it with some type of food that usually doesn’t trigger it. I hope that helps.
