Cornstarch for Reflux!

My mother told me last night that there is nothing as refreshing nor that guarantees a good night sleep as to drink the following after the last meal of the day:

2 tablespoons of cornstarch in 1/2 a glass of water, move with a spoon and drink.

Of course she says that individuals must exercise their good judgment as to the time when they eat in the evenings and also sleep in a semi-sitting position.

She says that if for any reason the individual cannot have a special bed, or adapt the one he's using; old phone books under the mattress at the head of the bead have worked for some people.
