I'm lucky where my GERD has regressed to a point that it only flares when I am stressed or really eat more acidic food than I should, but when it does, taking an antacid 15 min before eating is a must, pepcid is good over the counter, but if its really bad, see if your GP will prescribe omeprezol, its what really helped me. Aside from that, bringing in low FODNAP foods into a stuffing (hard cheeses, rice, cantaloupe bananas, leafy greens, most proteins) to help balance things out. Finally, avoiding particularly bad customers (for me it was alcohol and caffeine, which made me sooo grumpy) in order to indulge in other items that still aren't great acid-wise, but more filling/fattening is also good to consider. Hope this helps!
