My daughter had terrible acid reflux when she was pregnant. What worked the best for her were apples. She said the best apple for her was Golden Delicious. If you can stomach Apple cider vinegar with baking soda, this works extremely well also.

"My 81 yr old husband has suffered Acid Reflux for probably 50 years. He has used over the counter antacid tablets like candy for years and years, and for the last 3 years his doctor has also had him on Omeprazole 1/2 hour before breakfast & dinner, Famotidine 2/day WITH breakfast and dinner, AND Metoclopramide at bedtime if the reflux is bothering him. But he still has had trouble sleeping due to heartburn and reflux while lying flat in bed, and has had to sleep with he head raised (in his recliner) 2-3 times a week. But a week ago I found the entries on EarthClinic about apples for reflux. He likes apples OK--we usually share an apple at lunch, so I asked him to eat the lunch-time apple as "dessert" instead of "appetizer", and to also eat 1/4 apple after breakfast and after dinner. He had an IMMEDIATE positive lessening of reflux, and after 3 days he eliminated the Omeprazole from his daily regimen. By adding 1/4 apple in the later evening as well, he has not needed Metoclopramide even once in the past week.Technorati Tags: acid reflux, apples, golden delicious, baking soda
The apple prevents it, baking soda with anything, even just water will help is subside. However, when taking anything to cure heartburn, even baking soda, this reduces your body's ability to produce it's own cure and your heartburn will get progressively worse. So, prevention is best and a golden delicious apple a day will do it!
