Acid reflux disease is basically heartburn.

There are really 3 levels of treatments you can consider.

Conservative treatments:
You can try to stop eating high fat foods as this delays gastric emptying and gives a longer time period for reflux to occur.
also sleeping on 2 pillows at an angle may help you when you are sleeping to prevent any reflux.

Over the counter treatments:
You can get pills/tablets that will help with the heartburn.

Prescription medications:
Proton pump inhibitors - amazing for acid reflux! These medications are so good, they basically wipe out the competition. Need a doctor's prescription.Health Question & Answer
