Acid Reflux Wedge

This is a pillow that is wedge in shape used at night to elevate

the head a few inches of the ground to minimize symptoms of acid

reflux at night. Research has shown that out of 10 acid reflux

patients, 8 have the condition during bedtime.

The acid reflux wedge pillow is cut at an angle, higher at the

top and tapers to a thin edge that elevates your head, shoulders and

upper body. When you sleep in this position your center of gravity is

lowered. This helps keep the stomach contents intact in the stomach.

The trick here is to elevate most of your upper body. When you

just elevate your head on a normal pillow, you cause the middle part

of your body to bend inwards causing the stomach contents to go up

the oesophagus. The torso should be elevated 6 to 8 inches off the

ground.

The acid reflux wedge pillows are washable. They come in different

sizes. You will find that infants can also get the pillows. The acid

reflux wedge pillows for infants can be adjusted in size as the baby

grows. So you don't have to keep on running to the store to buy a new

one.

What is advisable before going to purchase the acid reflux wedge

pillows is to try some home remedies first. The condition is mainly

caused by an extreme lifestyle. You should try eating less food as

you go to bed. Eat at least 3 hours before bet time to allow the

stomach to digest the food.

For babies, allowing time for air swallowed with the food to come

out can help. They should be given small amounts of food more often

rather than one large meal at once. Sometimes the problem of acid

reflux in infants arises as a result of a digestive system that is

not fully developed.
