*Lying Down : Do not lie down until an hour after eating. Keep the head and upper body elevated and maintain a position where the body is at a slight downward angle with t head at the top, feet lower. This allows gravity to do its job, holding the acid down in the stomach. Laying with the feet elevated above the head allows the stomach acids to more easily reach the esophagus.
* [[licorice]] is effective in the treatment of Barrett's esophagus.
*Limiting intake of acid-stimulating foods and beverages
*Elevating the head a few inches while you sleep
*Quit smoking
*Avoiding drink alcohol
*Not wearing belts or clothes that are tight fitting around the waist
