Brief Answer:
dont lie down soon after meals, dont drink water and take domperidone

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for posting your query in hcm.

Brownish grey colored discharge may be due to diet you have take which suggest you have severe GERD. For which I will suggest you for some life style modifications. Take dinner early and go to sleep or lie down after 2 hrs. Dont drink water with meals. Make your head end of bed raised by 9 inches. Take a prokinetic agent like domperidone half hr before dinner, it will help in passing your meal from stomach to intestine earlier and thus will prevent reflux.

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you.
Wish you a good health
