Guest guest Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 It is best not to lie down after you eat as stomach acids digesting your food can leak up into the esophagus. If you are ill and must lie down, try to prop yourself up so that gravity will keep the acids down. If you must lie flat, lie on your left side as this will also help keep the acids from leaking into the esophagus. Also, eat small amounts at a time so the stomach is not over full.
