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.
