Is there another way of treating esophogitis or ppis are the only solution?

Behavior/diet: There are a few things a patient should do that may be overlooked. It is important to avoid foods or fluids that contain caffeine or nicotine in any form because they are chemicals that aggravate reflux.Acidic foods or carbonated beverages also aggravate. Laying down within an hour of eating/drinking fills the stomach & adds pressure to reflux, so it should be avoided.
