Lifestyle
Smaller, More Frequent Meals
for Acid Reflux
Eating smaller portions 4–5 times daily rather than 2–3 large meals reduces gastric distension and the mechanical pressure on the lower oesophageal sphincter.
How it works
Large meals increase intragastric pressure, forcing acid through the LOS. Smaller meals reduce this pressure and the total acid load in the stomach.
What to watch for
Last meal should be at least 3 hours before lying down. Avoid lying down or vigorous exercise immediately after eating.
