No vinegar!: This will only worsen the problem. Use an antacid, and if you can find one such as Gaviscon which has an ingredient that helps the antacid to stay at the top of the liquid so as to protect the uppermost part of your esophagus. Sleep on several pillows always, and avoid eating or drinking ANYTHING acidic, spicy, hot, or alcoholic. If persistent, see your gastroenterologist. Good luck!

For managing Reflux (GERD): Avoid cigarette smoking, alcohol ,chocolate, coffee, peppermint, fried or fatty foods. Eat meals at least 2 to 3 hours before bed time. Antacid provide temporary relief. See Gastro-entomologist for Diagnosis of IBS. See a Psychiatrist for Therapy for stress causing Reflux.
