Try mastic gum: Mastic gum (available from a health food store or on-line) is an effective remedy for GERD. Mastic is from the bark of a Mediterranean tree, and has been used for hundreds of years for gastrointestinal problems. Mastic kills H. pylori, the spirochete that causes GERD and stomach ulcers. 1 gram/day for two weeks will eradicate H. pylori. Also speeds healing of ulcers.
