I'll add that Billy Boy sleeps on an incline or has at least in the
past.
I'll suggest the more incline the better. I used 18 inches of incline
for a number of years of late I been getting by with 12 inches
and sometimes sleeping on the level. I dimly recall Billy Boy saying
he uses 9 inches of incline and his bed has a top quality
foam mattress as well. Innerspring mattresses don't take kindly
to being inclined and thus cause bad back pain, IMO.

GRJ has antiinflammatory properties. While it didn't seem to help
my GERD in the past, I do use now and then as Ginger root tea as it
helps
with this late middle aged man with some of aches and pains.
Melatonin may also be helpful. Understand I feel sleeping on
an incline is really important. Night time reflux has the longer
residency time especially if one is sleeping level. Thus it
has more time to "burn" thru the mucus layer that protects
the esophageal lumen lining. As Howard says bile salts can
be a problem even if stomach acidity is reduce by meds.

In my case, taking 4 or 5 capsules of betaine HCL and pepsin with
larger fatty meals
of the day and this makes a profound difference.
This is alternative medicine. As the PPI meds helped some, It took
me along time to try it. I am not saying this will work for you,
rather that
it works for me.

I hate the the PPI meds as while they are useful, they got to be quite
toxic with a longer periods of use.

I've been off of the PPI meds for 3 3/4 years by sleeping on a high
incline
and using the plenty of the digestive supplement (10 grain size)
betaine HCL with pepsin.
I used the PPI meds, the H-2 acid reducers and I had a fundo that went
leaky with time. I spent 1000's of dollars and waste a decade of
my life due to GERD and the conventional approach. The only
part of the conventional approach I suspect as having value
are the fundos, I had mine 11 years ago.
