Here are 7 tips and tricks to cure Acid Reflux:

Don’t Drink Alcohol: Alcohol can also cause acid reflux. Therefore, only drink in moderation if at all. This is especially true right before you go to bed.

Chew Gum: Chewing gum after you eat can aid the body in producing saliva. Saliva helps to neutralize acid.

Drink Warm Milk: Drinking warm milk at night before you go to bed can help alleviate acid reflux symptoms.

Try Baking Soda: Drinking water and baking soda can help neutralize acid in the stomach.

Over the Counter Medications: OTC medications can help you effectively treat acid reflux.

Avoid Caffeine and Soda: Caffeine and carbonated drinks can help you avoid GERD symptoms.

Lose Weight: When a person is overweight, bulk around the abdomen can make it difficult for the esophagus to dump food into the stomach. This can increase one’s chance of acid reflux.

Other tips to alleviate acid reflux are to wear loose clothing, identify what drugs may cause acid reflux symptoms and ask your doctor if there are suitable substitutes.  Also avoid eating too much at one sitting.  The above list are a few common ways to treat heart burn and each may be considered an acid reflux cure.
