Answers:
Mr.Tyler..
Most of the people having acid reflux are maintained on supportive treatment and they behave very nicely.
There are a couple of things that might help:
1. Avoid fried, spicy,and over cooked foods, and excessive tea and beverages.
2. Avoid alcohol.
3.Do not take foods which are having much liquid content, like soups etc.
4. Instead of two big meals,split them to three or four small meals.
5. Never bend soon after taking any food and otherwise in routine avoid bending.
6. Raise the head end of the bed by about 15cm (6 inches), easily carried out by placing two bricks flat one over the other,
and propping the bed on these on either side.
7.If over weight, reduce weight.
8.if smoker, stop smoking.
9.Take pantaperazole 40mg bid, along with some pro-kinetic like itopride etc
Consult your doctor,if these do not help, as then you may need fundoplication procedure.

your situation and prescribe meds. and treatment, this can become serious and require more extensive treatment. Don't wait to long.
Acid Reflux is a term the drug companies have coined to put a label on a problem that is generating 40 billion dollars a year to the drug companies. The way it is portrayed is a farce and the drug companies know it and are promoting a solution that is not a cure, but a perpetual drug solution that leads to many other problems and diseases.
Once you understand what Acid Reflux is, the solution is simple and can be cured forever. It is not complicated, but doctors, pharmacists, and drug companies are promoting Antacids as if this is a cure. It is not. There is a home remedy that will help, but you need some additional things that will solve the problem and create a cure for you.
People are suffering for no reason at all. “Heart burn, acid in digestion, acid reflux” is caused: By the LACK OF STOMACH ACID. Over 40% of people over 50 are suffering from (in medical terms the condition) of hypochloridia. In simple terms this condition is due to the lack of stomach acid being in the stomach at the right time to digest food in the stomach.
As we age, we produce less and less stomach acid. By the time we are 60 we are producing only about 23% of the stomach acid we did when we were 30. At 70 to 80, we are only producing about 5% or less of what we did at 30. This lack of stomach acid is also due to the fact we are eating cooked foods, processed foods, as well as age. Our bodies were designed to eat raw, uncooked food. When we eat cooked and or processed foods we use up the stomach acid at a faster rate in addition to us producing less stomach acid as we age. When this lack of stomach acid condition exists, the food we eat does not get digested and LACTIC ACID is produced from the rotting, fermenting food.
It is this Lactic acid that causes the so called Heartburn, not stomach acid!
When anyone takes the advice of a health professional (I guess that’s why they are “practicing” medicine) or a drug company on this issue and take antacids, they are making the problem worse, not better. When the stomach pH is raised by the antacids, the higher pH glob of rotting food then goes into the jejunum (top of the small intestine close to the stomach) where calcium, magnesium, and zinc are usually absorbed. But the calcium, magnesium, and zinc can only be absorbed when the food is acidic from the stomach. So, guess what happens? Right, the person becomes deficient in these minerals.
The problems that antacids create are loved by drug companies because the constipation, diarrhea, cramps, and other diseases that come from the toxic, undigested, rotting food cause people to run out and buy more garbage drugs that create even more problems. It does not stop there. The fact that the rotting food is not acidic as it passes on through the intestines, the higher pH does not trigger the alkali to be secreted further down the intestines and other nutrients do not get absorbed! People are literally starving themselves of valuable nutrients. A direct result of this is the larger waste line people develop. This is probably the most blatant, shameful, example of what is happening to the American public from drug companies in our modern world. The solution is so simple and very inexpensive.
The solution is to take a high quality Betaine HCL after each meal and you will get NO heartburn because the food is being digested now. This process takes about 3 minutes to happen. If you also take an activator that contains nutrients like potassium, you will remethylate cells and extend your life expectancy! I also recommend a good digestive enzyme to be taken with each meal.
I purchase several bottles of the Betaine HCL that will last me many months. In relatively small quantities my cost is about $11 for about 90 capsules. Compare that cost with the drug company’s solution. The good thing is that it is not a chemical, but a nutrient that your body utilizes naturally.
The home remedy is Pink Sea Salt. If you eat about ½ teaspoon per day, this will encourage your body to produce more stomach acid as well. I strongly suggest you not go out and buy some pills of Betaine HCL because those pills contain magnesium stearate and other excipients that keep the product from working well. I purchase a dozen bottles at a time from: www.healthline.cc (not .com) because their products do not contain all the toxic tagalongs other pills do and you get the best results from them and I find them very reasonably priced.
I personally take after each meal, 2 to 4 Betaine HCL and 1 to 2 activator, 1 digestive enzyme after each meal and I never, ever get acid indigestion problems. EVERYONE, yes everyone whom I have suggested this to has solved their problem immediately.
You will be amazed at how effective this is and wonder why the drug companies, doctors, and pharmacies do NOT tell you about this. You will also be amazed at how well you are digesting your food, the energy you feel, and how well you eliminate. This is all because you will now be digesting your food and it won’t end up as a spare tire around your rib cage.
Good luck to you.
The most important line of treatment is to have some knowledge about the causes of reflux.
If you know the causes you will easily be cured.
Through simple measures as modifying your diet and changing some habits you could be relieved.

A popular natural home remedy to help reduce acid reflux is to take an apple cider vinegar tonic (2 or 3 teaspoons mixed in an 8 ounce glass of water) before meals or whenever heartburn is experienced.
The underlying theory here is that the acetic acid in vinegar lowers stomach acidity (increases its pH) since acetic acid is a weaker acid than hydrochloric acid. It is also believed that vinegar (acetic acid along with its acetate salt) may help buffer and maintain stomach acid at a pH level of about 3.0. In this milder acidic environment, the stomach can still efficiently digest food but it causes less problems with the esophagus and thus less heartburn.
Heartburn (also called acid reflux) occurs when strong stomach acid leaks back up into the esophagus. When you swallow, a circular band of muscle around the bottom part of the esophagus relaxes to allow food and liquid to enter into your stomach.
Normally this muscle valve, called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), is closed and keeps the digestive acid and food inside the stomach where it belongs.
However if the LES valve opens when it shouldn't, hydrochloric acid from the stomach can reflux back and touch the lining of the esophagus causing heartburn.
Some dietary and lifestyle changes can be helpful such as:
• The reduction or elimination of foods which can increase the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and/or relax the LES muscle (and thereby aggravate the problem) such as nicotine (from smoking), alcohol, chocolate, high fat meals, foods which contain high amounts of calcium and protein, and certain calming herbs like peppermint.
• Loosing weight if you are overweight or obese since excess body weight puts extra pressure the stomach and surrounding muscles which can force open the LES valve when it shouldn't be. Similarly, eating smaller meals will reduce the pressure on the LES muscle.
Try combining some of the dietary and lifestyle changes mentioned above along with a tonic of apple cider vinegar before meals as an all natural way to alleviate occasional heartburn symptoms or as a preventative practice
