I’m curious how accurate this is considering there’s rarely ever air in your stomach so what is the point when it’s effectively vacuum sealed.

As a side sleeper with GERD. It’s accurate as fuck. Before I found a medication that worked properly, I always slept on my left side.

Thankfully Omeprazole keeps me from choking on my own acid now, but yeah, that sucks.

My wife has GERD but she can only take omeprazole for a certain period of time and has to take time off from it, though I forget the reason for it

Nah, if your stomach is acidic enough you can feel it. I finally caved and got a plush incline so that gravity keeps the bile down regardless of which side I sleep on, and I still usually favor sleeping on my left due to habits from before.
