Lying down soon after eating makes it easier for stomach acid to travel back up, irritating the throat and triggering night cough. Meal timing, portion size and sleeping position have a measurable effect for many people.
More than 90% of the body's serotonin is produced in the gut, which is part of why digestion, mood and sleep are so tightly linked.
Evidence on diet and the microbiome is genuinely promising but still developing; results vary between people, and lifestyle steps work alongside — not instead of — medical care.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get rid of heartburn fast at home?
Stand or sit upright, sip plain water, and loosen tight clothing so acid settles back down. Chewing sugar-free gum boosts saliva to help clear acid, and not lying down for a few hours stops it returning.
What home remedy works fastest for heartburn?
Upright posture plus water is the simplest; some people find a little baking soda in water helps occasionally, though it's high in salt and not for regular use. Avoid trigger foods, alcohol and late meals to stop it recurring.
What should I avoid when I have heartburn?
Lying down, large or fatty meals, spicy food, citrus, coffee, alcohol and tight waistbands all make heartburn worse. Don't exercise vigorously on a full, acidic stomach.
When should I see a doctor about heartburn?
Frequent heartburn, trouble swallowing, vomiting blood or weight loss need medical review, and don't stop prescribed medication without advice. The free self-check above can help you map your triggers.
