A member asked:

Docs, what's a natural alternative to dealing with acid reflux, stomach ulcers and choking on acid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Weight Loss: Believe it or not, weight loss is very effective at decreasing GERD symptoms. Even losing just 10% of body weight can potentially eliminate symptoms. Elevating the head of your bed at night is useful as well. Herbal remedies that could be tried (not harmful) include licorice, aloe vera juice, baking soda and slippery elm.
