If he is overweight, losing weight alone may relieve symptoms.

Avoid alcohol, smoking , caffeinated drinks, chocolate, onions, spicy foods, spearmint and peppermint - all of which increase production of stomach acid and relax the lower esophageal sphincter

Avoid tightfitting clothes, as they put pressure on stomach

Dont try to use pillows, while sleeping,

Limit fatty foods.

Stop smoking
