I've had gerd for 4 months and taking pills and feel better but still bad i always eat peppermint candies which help a lot! is this permanent? :(

Depends: Obesity, carbonated drink contributes. Keeping head end of the bed elevated, avoiding recumbent posture for one hr after full stomach, cutting down on hot, spicy, sour food will help. Stress has to be controlled. 3-6m of these usually cures. Hope you have been tested for H Pylori & you are negative.
