Can I control my GERD? Brainstorming question and observations

Wow, thanks for sharing your experience. I admire you for the awareness, patience, and consistency that you must have brought to bear on your effort to free yourself from acid reflux. I also have had to learn to not sleep on my right side and, now, even the left side won’t do most of the time. I also sleep on a 14’’ incline, which is pretty uncomfortable.

Thanks for sharing your solutions with me. I find in them things that I am also observing and trying to change or have changed in myself: eating an earlier dinner, avoiding certain foods, and dropping core exercises. I am also trying to space out meals from exercise which naturally limits the amount I can do.

And you are right: this is an exhaustive list. It could very well be an exhausting one, too, so I thank you for your suggestion about possibly breaking it up into shorter observational periods with fewer variables. I do have a strong determination and a lot of willpower, so I may just go forward with it as it is but it is nice having a back-up plan.

As you mentioned, I am using this ultimately as a means of making effective changes and finding effective treatments
