Tea Acid Reflux

Q.I recently had another heartburn flare up. Not this bad for several years. My doctor does not think it's my heart. I am on the 14 day Prilosec in the morning and Zantac after dinnner. I am not sure if the stuff is working or not. Do you guys know of any over the counter remedies to try? Or foods? Chamimille tea seems to help. can anyone in the group help me please?

A.I think that you should do these things Stick with the plan from your doc. Do not eat within 2 hours of lying down. Raise the head of your bed so that your upper body is elevated when you sleep. It is one of the biggest things you can do. Eat a bland diet, avoiding any non-clear beverages, spicey foods, chocolate, caffeine, smoking, and stress. Eat small amounts. Avoid alcohol. Deal with stress with exercise, meditation and or progressive relaxation. See a GI doc for an evaluation
