Need help with GERD symptoms

My GERD has been acting up more than usual lately causing me to have acid reflux and nausea when I lay down. Antacids nor milk is helping. Does anyone have any suggestions what I can do next?

Raise your head up (8") a bit when you lay down. It will help with reflux. Avoid chocolate, alcohol, smoking, pop, eat earlier meals.

I take Pepcid or Famotidine (generic) and it works great.

I take dexlansoprazole (generic of Dexilant). Also, sometimes marshmallows help my GERD, same with bread.

I know this sounds crazy, but eat a couple of slices of a lemon WITH THE PEELING. U must eat the peeling as well It works for me. If I’m nauseous it instantly clears it up and it helps with my Chest pressure/pain

^^^lemons are very high in alkaline which helps balance your stomachs acidity. It will cause u to quit producing as much acid and some of the symptoms will go away. This is a great natural way to soothe jt
