Lifestyle changes that can help:
Losing weight
Quitting smoking
Wearing loose-fitting clothing
Eating smaller meals
Raising the head of the bed when sleeping
Waiting at least 3 hours before lying down after eating
Avoiding certain foods and drinks, including:
Chocolate
Peppermint
Alcoholic drinks
Caffeinated beverages
Citrus drinks
Tomato-based foods
High fat and/or fried foods
A good doctor would have told you to raise the head of your bed 6 inches. Get a guy to do it for you. (They are still good for some things, right? lol)
That should help you a lot. Good luck! :)
Have you been seen by a Dr for this problem? I was and mine turned out to be caused by ulcers and nexium works great for me. Changing your diet may help, No acidy foods, No garlic, onions, no tomatoes ,stop smoking, no carbonated drinks and no caffene for a start. Acidophulus will help balance the digestive enzymes in your stomache and aloe juice from a health food store sometimes helps. That is what it is for.I never had any luck with the vinegar thing as that is acidy also citrus fruits are a no no.too. Good luck. I had to have a scope done to see what was causing mine. You need to see your Dr if you haven't already as the acid coming back up your esophagus causes scar tissue and can cause cancer so get it under control asap.
RadTech gave you the right answer, you need to avoid all foods that are on the list, but even with that you still might need drugs to make it stop

Try enzymes with your meals.
