Hi Joan

I also suffer from acid reflux as do both my parents - i have a more mild form so i only take a low dosage medication but my father takes a much stronger one so your husband might need to go back to the doctor - he needs to be on a proton pump inhibitor - my doctor would not prescribe it initially as she said she does not believe in them so i went back to the specialist. 

 Acid reflux is when the acid that exhists in the stomach - "splashes" up the oesophagus and burns.  The proton pump inhibitors reduce the production of the acid so it wont "splash" up.

Certain foods make the condition much worse - even if the tablets work.  I cannot drink orange juice or any other very acidic drinks.  Real coffee is a trigger for many people.  Hard cheese is a major trigger as well.

I hope this helps

Acid Reflux

http://www.deluxecomfort.com/wedge-pillow-order.html About 7 million of men and women in America, generally up to their 40's are suffering from acid reflux, a disease of the digestive system that consists of a backflow of acid from the stomach up to the esophagus, damaging the inner lining of this organ. Usually confused with heartburn, this is actually a symptom of acid reflux that usually happens after meals. Acid reflux becomes a clinical condition when the acid can produce a severe damage on the esophagus. Other consequences of acid reflux are tooth decay, vocal chords damage, and sinus contamination that can lead to asthmatic ailments. acid reflux diseaseThere is also certain confusion with hiatal hernia, which is a dislocation of the stomach through the hiatus (upper part of the stomach) into the chest. This condition gets more severe over time. However, hiatal hernia and acid reflux are not necessarily related. Other symptoms of acid reflux disease along with heartburn, which is a burning feeling behind the breastbone, difficult in swallowing and regurgitation of acid stomach contents into the mouth. Acid reflux disease or Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) as it is also referred is produced due to a transient relaxation of the sphincter or lower end of the esophagus that allows the entrance of foods and liquids into the gullet. Since this is a disease produced by the intake of food and drinks with high content of acids the first recommendation from your doctor will be avoiding as possible these foods and drinks, lying down after eating, wearing tight clothes, and doing straining activities as bending over and sleeping over a wedge pillow that elevates your head, shoulders and chest to make gravity work preventing the acid flux gets up to your esophagus and have that acid taste and heartburn in your mouth when you wake up the next day. Unfortunately there is no definite cure for acid reflux disease, so it depends much on your diligence and perseverance on following the heartburn prevention recommendations of your physician, which are basically changes in your lifestyle, especially in your nutrition habits. Invasive acid reflux treatments include acid reflux surgery or fundoplication and the consumption of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) to block acid secretion. Using wedge pillows is what gastroenterologists called "positional therapy", used to moderate the symptoms of acid reflux, which usually get acute at night time. According to this therapy, it is necessary to elevate your upper body and not your head only. Despite it will be hard for you to get used to this new sleeping position, you will feel gratified by the reduction of the acid reflux symptoms and acid-free taste in your mouth every morning. Deluxe Comfort's Wedge Pillow has the perfect incline design that will help you cope with acid reflux symptoms. It has a special upper pad to cushion your head and neck and avoid any eventual sliding. The wedge and the upper pad are both filled with the high-tech memory foam that adjusts exactly to the contours of your upper body, and unlike most totally flat acid reflux pillows that make you sink in the center of the pillow, it will actually cradle your body up relaxing your shoulders and arms to maintain a comfortable elevation while you sleep.
