My GERD was debilitating, and when my MIL died of esophageal cancer, I got serious about researching natural ways to stop mine. This was maybe 15 years ago.
I'm sure all the above-mentioned dietary cures are terrific, but not every acid reflux case is the same. Some stomachs have too much acid, some have too little, and it's hard to know which you fall in.
My cure was fresh, raw apple with skin. From the first night I had an apple before bed, my GERD was gone and has never returned. Sometimes still, if I've eaten too spicy a meal too late in the day, I recognize the feeling and eat some fresh, raw apple. LC? No. But for me the expenditure of carbs is worth the cure of a terrible symptom.
