Reflux: This can be treated like any other pattern of reflux, if that is what it is. Please see your doctor. A natural alternative is DGL, which is a type of licorice tablets that coat the area but see doc first. Peace and good health.

Agree with Dr. S: In addition to the advice from Dr. S, you should try to get a healthy weight. If you are overweight, that is likely to be a major factor in your disorder. Visit this site for info on nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.

Periodic GERD: OTC medications should be all that you need for periodic GERD. I agree with the other physicians that if you are overweight, then weight loss might help.
