All the recommendations were fantastic. My husband has suffered for years and now has it under control. The 3 products he takes are:
1. Probiotics - live bacteria (like what's found in yogurt) to restore the balance in the gut
2. Prelief - we order online since it's cheaper, but to try and see if it works for you, go to Osco (it's the only store I know that sells it). It's a natural pill you take prior to a meal (I take it prior to my morning coffee or before a highly acidic or saucy meal and no heartburn).
3. If those 2 items don't bring relief, he's tried all of the acid reflux products (Nexium, Protonix, Aciphex) but found the over the counter Prilosec works the best.
Try the 1st two first since they aren't drugs and if not, try #3. Good luck and I bet you'll see a difference! Apple Cidar Vinegar (with the "mother" in it - use organic) also is great and actually alkalizes the body.
