Namaste, Acid reflux with weak LES, belching, and night cough usually happens when stomach acid moves upward due to poor digestion and valve weakness. Simple measures that may help: Eat small, frequent meals and avoid overeating. Avoid late-night meals; keep a gap of 2–3 hours before sleep. Avoid tea, coffee, chocolate, citrus, spicy and fried foods. Sleep with head slightly elevated to reduce night reflux. Do not lie down or bend immediately after eating. Include light foods like rice, moong dal, boiled vegetables, and buttermilk with cumin. Manage stress and maintain regular sleep, as it worsens reflux. Since symptoms are severe and long-term, continue follow-up with your gastroenterologist.
