On those days I lean toward very mild food like oatmeal and plain rice. You might need to use trial and error to find out what you can and can't eat.
Some things you can do beside your diet are to not sleep flat in bed. I have a mountain of pillows supporting my upper body at night. Some folks use something that elevates the head of the bed. I found I kept sliding out of the foot of the bed when I did that!  
Avoid clothes that are tight around your waist.
Eat small meals.
Don't let yourself go a long time between meals.
