I find that doctors advice kind of strange, the thing thats helped me most is to stop eating 3-4 hours before I go to bed. best advice I can give her is to pay atention to what she eats and figure out what bothers her. loosing wheight will help things by putting less pressure on the stomache, as will wearing looser fiting cloths/pants.

alcohol is a no brainer, it relaxes the lower esophagal sphincter. cafein is sopesed to do the same

hot spicy food does not bother me in the slightest, nor does garlic.....garlic butter is a differnt storry though.

greasy foods will bug me, but only if I eat too much of them at once. fats take longer to digest and sit in the stomache longer

citrus usually wont bother me. I have a grape fruit with breakfst pretty much every day, and eat oranges a plenty with no problem.

two things gives me heart burn 100% of the time, oat meal and most breads


one other thing to take note of. Ive read that many acid reducing medications reduce cacium absorbtion and lead to reduced bone denseties
