Until you have woken up choking on acid that went in your lungs, you will not understand. I have EOE, and it really really sucks. I highly recommend not damaging your esophagus. I have spent years barely being able to eat without choking, though this latest round with the new doctor has been the best I have been in over a decade. Once your esophagus narrows to under 10mm, eating is a chore. Worst I ever got down to was 5mm. It was around ~7ish back in November...

I keep things under control pretty well, but I was always taught to sleep on my left side growing up if your stomach was upset or you were having trouble breathing if you were sick.
