Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist. . For GERD I will advise you to avoid tea, coffee, oily and spicy food. Also avoid citrus fruits. Among medications take a proton pump inhibitor like ilaprazole and a prokinetic agent like levosulpiride. Don't lie soon after taking meals and take small and frequent meals. Also take water at least 2 hours after meals. I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health. If you have further query I will like to answer that too.
