heartburn
It seems like most of the "adult' population has some degree of heartburn. What are others doing about raising the head of the bed in their rv's?

The best thing to do is to go to the doctor and get properly diagnosed. Note that I said properly diagnosed.
I went to emergency room many times over the years for severe heartburn. Had all kinds of barium swallow xrays. But no one ever told me that I do not have a lower esophageal sphincter muscle, and that my lower esophagus was raw from the acid. Had to go to a doctor who specializes in doing upper endoscopy to find that out.
Today it is very well controled by taking prescription strength Omeprazole. Took a different med for a while until it quit working. Could have the surgery to have the esophagus, but I felt that we could do that when nothing else works.
