Question Who knows of the best treatment for acid reflux condition or "Gerd"?
I would prefer to not have to be on prilosec 2 times a day. It does not seem to be helping. Is a natural remedy or a better medication somewhere out there?

Best Answer You try giving your stomach a rest for a week. Cut out all acid type foods. This would include orange juice, grapefruits, tomatoes, carbonated beverages, coffee and chocolate. Eat Oatmeal everyday. It seems to coat the stomach and lessen the amount of acid that is regurgitated. Don't eat large meals--instead eat several small meals a day. Do not eat a large meal as your Dinner. Often the large meal is a major culprit when you lie down for bed. Peppermint and Ginger are also natural remedies that can give you some relief. I've had GERD for years. It acts up when I eat the wrong foods or too much food. When I start the oatmeal diet, the symptoms definitely lessen.
