I had severe GERD for years. On an off PPI's for almost 5 years, several endoscopies, pain 24h per day. It was so the bad I almost went for surgery. Then I tried the low fodmap diet and it went away. Now I only have to avoid alcohol, onions, garlic and sweet fruits to keep it at bay.

A few friends who started reporting GERD all the time at the start of the pandemic, didn't make the connection between working and eating in bed or the sofa at times, and the gradual worsening, compounded with the usual inflammatory foods and sleeping on the wrong side or without any inclination, the body's buffer depletes so to speak and those issues appear more frequently.
