Yeah, I was going to say baking soda, too. The instructions will be on the box. Takes Awful though. I have to do that every few days since I am stubborn and went of my reflux meds.

my MIL swore by eating some pickle relish.
seems like the vinegar would make it worse, but she swore it made it better.

I have a book on natural cures that may be bullcrap but the drug companies don't want you to know about and it recommends apple cider vinegar.

It seems like vinegar would make it worse. At least for me. I tend to be bleeding down there when I let the acid go too much and I can't imagine vinegar in a open wound. Ouch!

This is what I use. Can't explain how but it does work. 2 tbs ACV in 8 oz of water and drink. It's gone in seconds and lasts for hours if I don't eat chocolate.

ETA: Not just any ACV. It has to be the organic BRAGG brand.

My aunts are always telling me to eat a raw potato. You don't have to eat the whole potato just a peice of it. I have never tried it but they say it works.

I'v heard ACV is good for weight lose to. I think its an app suppressant or metabolism booster

Grandma did the acv diet while I lived with her, which meant we did it to. A shot of acv with a 8 oz glass of water (at least) three times a day. It does work. It is great for sore joints too. Better than the dieting effects. You can mix the acv into the water or not. The downside. You start to smell like acv. oh yeah and you're drinking vinegar all the time.
