Naturopath.: Ask a nturopath but i suspect they would elevate the head of the bed 4 inches, tell you to drink aloe vera (diluted), use otc zantac (ranitidine) or pepcid, eat slowly, chew you food well, avoid spices and acidic products and don't eat too late at nite.

Proven vs unproven: By definition, "alternative" is different than modern western medicine. Generally any drug, herb, treatment, or procedure that stands up to rigorous scientific scrutiny is included in modern medicine. The problem is that many alternative practices, herbs etc do not stand up to scientific scrutiny and cannot be shown to work. They therefore remain "alternative". Be careful and watch your wallet.
