Gastro-oesophageal reflux involves gastric fluids rising into the oesophagus. This is a physiological occurrence, but it can become pathological and damaging if not treated. It appears both in adults and children, above all during the night. In fact, during sleep, the reclining position increases this problem. In addition to marring the quality of sleep, reflux damages the oesophagus in people suffering from this condition.
For people who have nocturnal reflux, it is advisable to eat dinner at least two hours before going to bed, taking light meals, limiting consumption of alcohol as much as possible, not smoking, and sleeping on the back in a slightly inclined position with respect to the body in order to help prevent gastric fluids from rising into the oesophagus. Fabe offers anti-reflux pillows that support and lift back and head, at last ensuring cosy and comfortable sleep for those suffering from this problem.
