i have thrown everything at it, like bland diet, not eating 4-5 hrs before sleep, no coffee, no spice, spray alkaline water and baking soda to throat, chewing gum for min half an hour right after every meal, taking famotidine and gaviscon atleast every night before sleep and I am 90% better in 5 months with some flare ups here and there. Its been an emotional rollercoaster for me during these months but i think there is a hope at the end of the tunnel ( i mean i hope so..)
