Aside from PPIs and H2 blockers, you can try organic apple cider vinegar with the mother. Be sure to shake up the bottle and start with 1 teaspoon in 4 ounces of water once a day. Slowly work up to 2 ounces in 10 ounces of water once a day. This not only helps with heartburn, it also helps to alkaline the blood which help to prevent the disease process and helps with weight loss.
