    What’s wrong with gastric acid being in the esophagus? I sleep on my right-side a lot.

      Most people don’t have issues with acid reflux. However, for those that do, it’s important to try to control acid reflux.

        Dumbass DNA. Why make a human capable of eating a baconator if doing so melts your body from the inside.

          If you melt yourself before you can pass on those dodgy genes of yours then the problem sorts itself out!

      Until you have woken up choking on acid that went in your lungs, you will not understand. I have EOE, and it really really sucks. I highly recommend not damaging your esophagus. I have spent years barely being able to eat without choking, though this latest round with the new doctor has been the best I have been in over a decade. Once your esophagus narrows to under 10mm, eating is a chore. Worst I ever got down to was 5mm. It was around ~7ish back in November…

      I keep things under control pretty well, but I was always taught to sleep on my left side growing up if your stomach was upset or you were having trouble breathing if you were sick.

      It’s corroding you from within.
