There can be multiple reasons for acid reflux, but one of the more common ones is an improper or incomplete closure of the pyloric valve. This is situated at the top of the stomach, and is supposed to keep stomach acid from moving into the esophagus.

With acid reflux is it better to lay down on your left or right side to help prevent acid reflux?

With acid reflux, it's best not to lie down at all right after eating. When you do lie down, I find it best to be propped up, no matter which side. Acid reflux is caused when a muscle between the stomach and esophagus lets acid leak out of the stomach. During the day, gravity usually keeps the acid where it belongs, but when laying down, that may not be the case. Propping up lets gravity still work.
