   It depends on what you eat and how late you eat during the day. Eating lots of fatty foods will give you acid reflux. And eating and drinking 3 hrs. before bedtime will cause it. Also spicy foods and alcohol can cause it. It depends on your body. Try to stay away from fatty and spicy foods. If you already are eating healthy than you need to call your doctor.

   Junk food. And it is dangerous, if it gets really bad, you have to have an operation.

   Stress can also cause acid reflux (personal experience) and peppermint can loosen the sphincter at the base of the esophagus letting stomach contents back into the esophagus.
   For me, managing my stress has been more important than what I eat. Also, not eating to close to laying down.
