Simple and it makes sense. I wouldn’t call it scientific proof, but as a reflux sufferer interested in non pharmaceutical solutions, I’ll give it a try. TLDR- - Position: Kneel on something raised (like a 6.5" platform), put your head lower than your stomach by resting it on your hands on the floor - Exercise: Eat some food (like oatmeal or a sandwich) in this position, making your esophageal muscle work against grav…

Cure Acid Reflux by Eating Doggy Style
How I eliminated GERD: - Walking after every meal - Reducing my body weight - Avoiding food in the hours before bed YMMV
"But PPIs have terrible side effects!"
Doing great so far. One esomeprazole a day, 30 mins before I eat breakfast and I'm almost normal. This is with bad GERD, a hiatal hernia and some changes to my esophageal tissue. Oh and schatzki rings. I was in immense pain for years and now I can eat normally and enjoy spicy foods again.
The traditional Indian method of eating, sitting cross legged on the floor, is similar to this. While sitting cross legged, you bend your back and have your head point at an angle towards the plate on the floor, and then put the food in your mouth. So cos(theta)*gravity has to be opposed by your oesophagus.
