aloe vera juice helped to soothe my esophogus - kept it in the fridge. Took it at the advice of a naturopathic doctor.

Regular (every other week) massage also did a great deal to help me reduce my stress level, which reduced my acid reflux - so much so that it lead me to become a massage therapist! Also Reiki and self-guided meditation helped my acid reflux a lot. May I suggest the CD I used - Steve Sommer's "Hara Breathing" - each session is only 15 minutes. You can buy a copy cheap on CDbaby.com.
