Rule 2:
Follow rule one.
I'm 50 and I get reflux when I am foolish, but when I am really hungry I can eat a big meatball parm just before bedtime with no ill effects. The trick is being really hungry. If there is room for your digestive system to move the food on down the canal, it moves on quickly, if you are Haven a meatball parm before bed, and you had potroast for dinner, a candy bar at three, a sub at lunch, two donuts at 10, and a couple breakfast sandwiches on the way to work, you will have reflux at night.
Bottom line: IT'S YOUR FAULT.
LOL! Thanks good advice. Geez - meatball parm - your making me hungry.
