I have really bad GERD, when my stomach acts up i either:
Drink peppermint tea
or
Cut a lemon in half and pour some baking soda on it and let if fizz, then eat the baking soda!. I know it sounds weird but i swear it works!.
Try to eat more of the baking soda and none of the lemon!. The baking soda helps neutralize your stomach acids!.

Try a tablespoon of baking soda mixed with water, as needed, until the reflux disappears!. Don't overdo the baking soda though, it can cause alkalosis!. You can also take more Tums, as long as you don't take 50 every day, they won't hurt you!.
Other than that, you need to at least get some OTC Prilosec (Nexium is better, any proton pump inhibitor will do) - acid reflux doesn't go away on its own, and it only gets worse with time!. Trust me on this, I ignored my GERD, and it ended up with my diagnosis of having Barrett's Esophagus, a pre-cancerous condition of the esophagus!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
