GERD: Diet: avoid fatty foods, chocolate, peppermint, licorice, coffee, alcohol, tobacco. Do not go to bed with a full stomach. Medications: proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole will help alleviate symptoms but do not affect les pressure. Not sure if Cisapride is available in your country but this could be helpful.
