Hi everyone 👋

How are you doing today?

Acid reflux might sound like a small issue to some, but for those who live with it regularly, it can really wear you down. That burning feeling in your chest or throat, the nausea, the disrupted sleep… it’s not just uncomfortable, it can affect your eating habits, your mood, and even your energy levels.

For some members, symptoms might flare up at night. For others, certain foods or stress might make it worse. Whether you’ve been managing it for years or are just starting to figure it out, you’re not alone, and we would like to know:

💬 Have you found anything that helps soothe your acid reflux?

🍽️ Are there specific foods or habits that seem to trigger it for you?

😴 How do you handle nighttime flare-ups?

Let’s share what’s helped, and what hasn’t, so we can support each other through it.

Take care!

I have gastritis which causes acid reflux. GP prescribed Omeprazole which works brilliantly. If I have a night time flare up I take liquid gaviscon. I usually buy the individual doses. If one doesn’t work I have another but usually one works fine. My triggers are chocolate and wine, even worse if I have both together. Hope you find something that works for you soon x
