Avoiding triggers: Daily or uncontrolled heartburn despite a PPI (like Prevacid) is a warning sign to stop whatever is triggering it. Fats commonly trigger acid reflux &heartburn, & are thought to do so by relaxing the lower esophageal sphincter.Although Gaviscon is a good add-on med,& lifestyle measures (raise head of bed, avoid eating late, avoid caffeine etc) can lower symptoms,it's best to avoid known triggers.
