My old boss was diagnosed with this, turned out to be a hiatus hernia in the end. Managed with medicine and still knocked backed the odd beer or wine.

I’ve had a hiatus hernia, not pleasant but nothing to worry about.

Oh I'm on the Apple Cider Vinegar, not sure if it's doing anything yet, can't think of anything left to eat, probably have some grass for breakfast.

I suffer from reflux issues.
Been on omeprazole for a few years now.
Its fucking annoying. If I have anything spicy (and I do LOVE a vindaloo) I have to sleep sat upright.

Mad dog, that's what my quack has prescribed me, if the reflux doesn't get you the side effects will!
Prop your bed up at the headboard end by about 6-8 inches is what I keep reading. Makes sense, the mrs will be over the moon, or she gets the couch :-)

Lansaprazole is your friend. Been on them for about 10 years.
Rennie & Gaviscon are total wank. They're like drinking a Fosters or a Carling.
What's the point? Totally ineffective. People spend a fortune on them

Omeprazole for me also I take a Rennie if I eat something close to bed time, another thing that works is Trebor soft peppermints
Try to sleep with your head raised

Had it for a few years - think my chilli/hot curry addiction may have been to blame. Omeprazole is your friend but you have to remember to take it way before you have spicy food. Doesn’t work very well afterwards - take Gaviscon if you do.
Also - if you’re a fat cunt, lose some weight. I did and it’s a lot better than is was - went from everyday to only with spicy food. But has been replaced with IBS. He giveth and taketh away

Spot on freaks. I take mine in the morning. Got caught out a few times having an impromptu shant without having taken one early. Not good.

Lansoprazole in the morning and a swig of Peptac Liquid at night (both prescribed) keeps mine at bay, but also lost some weight and stuck a couple of bricks at the head of my bed!!
Had the camera down the throat to check things prior to the prescribed drugs and bloody hell the thing was like a hosepipe!!

I'm certainly prone to the odd bout of nasty heartburn - not keen on the long term use of PPIs - always preferred a Zantac or Two/Rinitidine (but these have been withdrawn of late sadly, and I'm running out of stash!
Some foods it seems to me are bigger triggers than others even within the list you identify, and not eating late at night or eating big meals is also seemingly important.

No, but I get reflux quite bad sometimes, usually with certain foods and the booze, so this will probably be coming to me at some point. I'm 34 so hoping to keep it at bay for a bit.
Sounds proper shit as there are a lot of things I enjoy on that list.

Yep, been on Omeprazole for years and that doesn't sort some nights...esp after a curry.

Try to avoid eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime, try to lay on your left side and with your head slightly raised.
The tablets didn't really work for me, but its just about management of the problem more than anything.
