I have been having bad acid reflux as well. A recent endoscopy procedure let me know I have inflammation in the esophagus. If not treated, my doctor told me it could lead to errosions within my esophagus. He recommended a prescription drug called Aciphex. I haven't tried it yet, as I would like to see if a change in my diet would help first. Here is what he recommended to manage symptoms of "GERD"/acid reflux:
*Quit smoking *Avoid foods that promote reflux - Caffeine in coffee & tea, chocolate, alcohol and peppermint, fatty foods. *Avoid late meals *Weight loss *Raising the head of your bed 6"-8" *Avoid wearing tight fitting garments - can raise stomach pressure forcing stomach contents into esophagus *Eat smaller meals *Review your medications
