Much more influential (again, in my own experience) has been those occasions when I overeat. And on top of that, the time of day I overeat. If I consume a big meal in the middle of the day, I rarely suffer from heartburn. However, if I consume a big meal late in the day, shortly before going to bed ... that's almost a guarantee of trouble. Eat less and give yourself at least three hours after your last meal before you head for bed ... that's always worked best for me.

It did a great job and I could lead a normal life, eating and drinking what I wanted without any symptoms. This was until a doctor told me I should reduce the dosage from 20mg to 10mg per day because of long term side effects. I did this and the symptoms of heartburn returned very quickly. I tried a few different ways to treat the heartburn without success. Then I went on a diet recently to lose some weight. I have lost a bit but the main benefit was that the heartburn was reduced so much that I now only take the acid reflux medication occasionally. This is a great change in my life and I have read many comments from other people that the food they ate had a lot to do with the prevention of their acid reflux. To get rid of heartburn lifestyle changes especially to the diet does work.

Diet change is probably one of the most effective changes that helped me to reduce my heartburn. And spicy food is guaranteed to give me heartburn. Probably it is specific to the fact that I wasn't eating much of spicy food in my childhood. So It is probably related to the way your stomach develops.
