Acid reflux is a common issue across the U.S.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, 20% of adults suffer from chronic acid reflux. But doctors say the good news is it’s treatable.

Some people know it all too well, the uncomfortable feeling after a big meal or eating certain foods.

Doctors warn it’s not only what you eat, but when you eat.

Experts say it’s best to finish eating three hours before going to bed. That means avoiding late-night snacks too. Sleeping on an incline, or on the left side can also help, and avoid clothes that are too tight or put pressure on the abdomen.

Doctors say to avoid alcohol and smoking. They also say losing extra weight can help relieve pressure on the stomach.
