HI and welcome to the GERD forum.
Thanks for sharing that info....since we r all different, we may find we need to tweek our times a bit...but for the most part do follow ur drs rx.......but waiting to eat is a great way to adjust .
Thanks again : )

When you say "for the most part do follow ur drs rx... I agree. However, pts are often unaware that what a doc tells you is not 100% precise, and inviolable. Pts are unfortunately not in the habit of asking docs to clarify, which is important because, as you say, we are all different [from ea other]--e,g. "Doc, do you mean, no more than 30 minutes? Minimum of 30 minutes?" ETC. Remember, (a) docs are terribly pressed for time these days, thus, will not expand their advice unless asked; and (b) lots of medicine is "empirical", i.e. based not specifically on any law of biology, but on "what works".
I agree with u.....on all ur points.And even with an explination, we may need to adjust to fit us....in medicine - one rx does not fit all.

Tnx for your note.
An additional point: how does it happen that the waiting period is that nice, rounded number of 30 minutes, and not 23 minutes, or 36 minutes?
I hear u....like I said one RX does not fit all....my nephew was given a med to help him sleep...it made him so overactive, so quite the opposite.
So timing can be something that needs adjusting........and use what works best for u.
