  if your weight is in the abdominal area, then losing it will decrease the pressure on your stomach, thus allowing the acid to stay where it belongs.

  I spoke to my Dr. a few hours ago about my AR. It has gotten worse in the past few months. He noticed that I too had gained about 25 pounds in that time and asked if my sleep apnia had worsened also. I told him that my wife said that it had. He said that the straining to breathe was pushing the stomach acid into my throat, causing me to choke and waking me up. It has also caused me to have acid reflux laryngitis. He prescribed Prilosec otc for two weeks. He also said to use the South Beach diet or the Atkins diet and lose enough weight to make the sleep apnia go away. I am 5′9”, and when I get down to 230 pounds the sleep apnia goes away. Also, and this is most important, the cutting out of the carbohydrates not only makes me lose weight very quickly, but also make my heartburn and AR dissappear almost instantly. The more I research, the more I realize that carbohydrates are a deadly poison. (Just one mans opinion.) I hope that this helps and good luck.
