A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet and medications: Take Pantoprazole every morning on an empty stomach and wait 20 minutes before having a meal. You may need to take it twice a day if once a day is not enough. Avoid certain meals that can cause reflux: citrics, chocolate, mints, alcohol, spices, caffeine. Wait at least 3-4 hours before going to bed after dinner. Losing weight also helps.
