Acid reflux can be relieved through several methods. First of all, if you are a smoker, try your best to quit smoking. Smoking increases acid production due to irritation. Secondly, keep away from spicy foods, as they also tend to irritate the digestive system, resuliting in more acid reflux.Eating a balanced diet should help. Losing weight, if you are overweight will greatly reduce your acid buildup, so don't overeat! Finally if the reflux persists, see a doctor. They can put you on a good medication that will help you.

Generally they give the exact same meds that they give adults...They're called acid reducers and they cause the stomach to make less acid. The only difference is the pharmacist will crush up the pills and mix them into a suspension. Fair warning make sure they add some children friendly flavoring to it! They gave my son meds for that and the pharmacist refused to add any flavor to it....Talk about nasty tasting! I tasted it trying to figure out why my son was screaming bloody murder and spitting it all back out. It tasted just as if I had decided to chew up the pill instead of swallowing it! Also one other thing to try if your family has a history of milk sensitivity. It may not be a lactose issue. With my son it ended up not being acid reflux at all. It was a milk casien allergy. it's the protein in dairly products not the sugars. As a result even soy formula was coming up. You may ask your pediatrician if you should try neutramagen or allimentum. These two formulas are basicly the same thing just different brands with the protein broken down a different way so baby doesn't react. I know that the neutramagen has a coupon you can print up and bring to your pediatrician to get a free can to see if it works. It cured my son of all the puking and screaming within 2 days without any need for medications.

most over the counter antacids will give you temporary releif.. but you need to see a doctor, get an Upper GI series done to see if you really have issues with acid reflux.. dont take medical advice from us clowns.
