GERD: YOU need to modify your diet like not eating fatty or spicy foods. Dont eat large meals, dont eat late at night. Dont lay down for 2 hours after eating. If you smoke, quit! You may need prescription strength medicine long term and have an Upper endoscopy to rule out H.Pylori infections and other conditions like Barretts esophagus. Follow up with your PCP for a referral to a gastroenterologist
