Since reading the above HN comments, I have lost ten pounds and (mostly) stopped drinking carbonated beverages. My GERD is vastly reduced.

- mattgreenrocks 1y agoThanks for this, will add it to the experiment queue while I work on losing the slight dad bod I have going on.
- grep_name 1y agoI don't see anything about carbonated beverages in those comments? I've had good results with some of the exercises mentioned there, but since then have been in a rut unable to make it stop (my only symptom of GERD is a small persistent cough, which sucks more than it sounds like). I drink a lot of sparkling water though. Do I need to give that up too?
- an_aparallel 1y agoCarbonated beverages expand once swallowed, not helpful if your LES is relaxed.
