GERD: If your GERD is that severe, you likely need to see a specialist. Gastroenterologists specialize in these problems and can direct you to appropriate treatment. Surgery is sometimes an option, if medications are not working. Also, patients with chronic GERD often need to undergo an EGD to evaluate any complications from chronic reflux.

Several things: Be good about taking your antisecretory medications. Avoid foods that worsen reflux like acidic citrus fruits, peppermint, spicy foods, alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine(including coffee, tea and chocolate). You should try to stay upright for at least 1 hour after eating and avoid eating prior to going to sleep.
