No need tobe terrifi: Acid reflux is a common condition. Nearly one in 5 of us have this problem yet we have learn to live with it with the help of antacids. There are many antacids that are available, some of them are over the counter..the price varies among them. Try a short course of either Pepcid (famotidine) or Omeprazole(Purple capsule). You need to take it once daily, after evening meals(at bedtime is fine).
