Hello,

The reflux occurs when the valve that connects the stomach to the oesophagus, or food pipe, is weakened. When this happens, stomach acid flows back into the food pipe.

You can avoid some drinks: alcohol, caffeine beverages, chocolate, citrus juices. You can sleep with 2 or 3 pads and not eating too much food. Medications:

A number of medications are available over the counter (OTC) for heartburn and other symptoms of GERD. These include:

-antacids that neutralize stomach acids, such as Gaviscon or Tums. Various antacid brands are available to buy online.

-H-2-receptor blockers that can decrease acid production in the stomach for up to 12 hours, such as ranitidine (Zantac)

-proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) that block acid production for long enough to enable the food pipe to heal. Fast recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
