GERD: For reflux avoid spicy and oily foods, caffeine,alcohol,nicotine,aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or naproxen. Take a medication like famotidine or omeprazole according to instructions for a week or so. You could add an antacid like maalox or gelusil 1/2 hour after meals and bedtime, If symptoms persist, see your physician or a gastroenterologist for evaluation and treatmen
