A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pepcid: Try taking the maximum dose of pepcid which is 40 mgs per day. Carafate and gaviscon are other antireflux medications to try. Also avoid alcohol, nicotine,caffeine including chocolate,oily and spicy foods which cause or aggravate reflux. Sleep with your chest higher than your abdomen. Prilosec up to 40 mgs per day can be tried. See a gastroenterologist as needed.
