/* Home remedies */
* Losing weight is also beneficial; excess weight puts additional pressure on the abdomen and pushes up the stomach, causing acid to back up in the esophagus.
* Eating smaller, more frequent meals.
* [[Digestive Enzymes]]
* Lemon Water : Lemon helps to reduce the amount of acids in the body, and has other health benefits that affect the digestive tract. Water with lemon juice acts as a natural cleanser, removing germs and bacteria through the liver and kidneys and helping the digestive tract to eliminate waste more efficiently.
*Lying Down : Do not lie down until an hour after eating. Keep the head and upper body elevated and maintain a position where the body is at a slight downward angle with t head at the top, feet lower. This allows gravity to do its job, holding the acid down in the stomach. Laying with the feet elevated above the head allows the stomach acids to more easily reach the esophagus.
