Reflux: Managing Reflux has more to do with what you may need to avoid and lifestyle changes than taking medication. We really dont know anything about you, not even your age, let alone your medical history, BMI, social history etc. So we can't be expected to provide you with a relevant response. I suggest you obtain a more detailed consult through Healthtap Prime at which time you can be more informative
