    As a side sleeper with GERD. It’s accurate as fuck. Before I found a medication that worked properly, I always slept on my left side.

        My wife has GERD but she can only take omeprazole for a certain period of time and has to take time off from it, though I forget the reason for it

          I just take it once a week and it keeps it in check. Before I started, I would wake up every night literally drowning in stomach acid and unable to breathe. When I first started taking it, I was taking it daily, but I always felt REALLY bloated, like I was going to explode. I cut off of it and found that the effect lasted for a week or more, and I started just taking it once a week, and I’ve been fine ever since.
