Openings: Pizzeria Orso, Falls Church VA

I live like 2 miles away from there... I don't suppose they do take out? I've always been interested in trying out a real Neapolitan pizza place. Maybe I can convince some of my friends to try it out.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 61: The Acid Reflux Chest Tightness Diet

I got diagnosed with Acid Reflux 3-4 years ago and was put on a prescription for Nexium. It worked great, got rid of all acid reflux. But I don't recommend you take it, because of a few side affects and also that it's incredibly hard to get off of them generally - you'll get rebound heartburn that's 100 times worse than normal. About 2-3 months ago I decided to stop taking it and have been managing the reflux myself.

Generally I avoid the things you mention, but not always. I control my reflux primarily with gum, cinnamon gum. If I ever have some reflux, I just pop a piece, chew it vigorously, generating saliva, and that typically helps. I used to prop up my head when sleeping, but recently I've taken to mixing a tablespoon or so of baking soda in some seltzer before bed which gets me through the night w/o heartburn. Before I did that I'd burn my throat/mouth from the acid sometimes since I slid down the pillows I used to prop myself up. Sleeping on my side has also helped. At any other time, I'll generally take a tums, which helps for a bit of time.
