We got a tilted bed and I made a manual one. The reflux thing was terrifying for my wife since the acid would autonomicly shut off my breathing as to not enter the lungs. So I would wake up and have to force myself to breathe. This sounded awful and take another minute or two to breathe again. I never took drugs for it. Water reduced ph and natural popcorn makes for a good acid proof plug.
No more incidents = no more late nite acid snacks.
