Interactions: Tumeric is known to interfere with acid reducing medications that are used to treat GERD. Thus, stomach acid production can rise, and the symptoms of GERD can increase.

Tumeric: Not a lot of controlled studies to give much advice on this. Tumeric is known to reduce stomach acid so theoretically it should improve GERD. Try a little Aloe Vera juice before meals.
