The usual lifestyle modifications can be made to reduce reflux: smaller meals, avoid late night meals, avoid caffeine, peppermint, incline the bed at night, avoid obesity.
Medications for reflux include pepcid, prilosec, nexium etc.
Surgery can also be done to stop reflux.

I anticipate limited time to check and respond to emails during the following timeframes: · Inpatient service (9/28 - 10/6) · Vacation (10/7 - 10/14) If urgent assistance is needed, please call or page.
