Complete elimination of caffeine seems to have had the most significant effect, and the second most important change was not eating after 7pm, followed by eliminating spicy foods. It seems that with caffeine gone, I can actually tolerate some greasy foods for lunch. I don't know if this is an excuse, but to get calories in, I have taken the habit of eating ice cream in the evening (I finish my meal about 6:30, and then get some for desert), as ice cream does not seem to cause problems.
I also stacked some pillows under my mattress so that the head-end is elevated. With these changes, I think I am finally back on track.
Thanks Robert, and everyone else who chipped in.
