How to best relieve symptoms of acid reflux involves making lifestyle changes such as avoiding certain foods, losing weight, stopping smoking and exercising regularly. A wide variety of over-the-counter medications such as antacids, anti-gas or ant-flatulence drugs, oral suspension and H-2 receptor blockers are available to provide temporary relief.

Avoid the overuse of over-the-counter medications as they may cause side effects such as constipation and diarrhea. For more frequent and severe episodes of acid reflux, your doctor may prescribe medications such as proton pump inhibitors. If lifestyle changes and prescription medications fail to offer improvement, surgery may be recommended.

Natural Remedies

Natural and holistic treatments have been used for centuries to treat and provide symptomatic relief for digestive problems. Homeopathic remedies are safe and effective to use for people of all ages without unwanted side effects.

Most doctors will prescribe a regiment of taking Prilosec OTC for the full 14 day period.

Take 1 pill by mouth every morning before eating breakfast for 14 days. You will notice results in 24-72 hours later. Consider your age, and what you are doing to correct or affect this problem with the types of foods you are eating and your daily intake of acidic items (ie. tomatoe, juice, onion, etc...)
