Hi, yes, I have gerd as well. Mostly it's the acid in my throat and the heartburn. But for n* I always take ginger chews...they really work. I use Prince of Peace brand, yellow package. And also aloe drink, it is very soothing. And I will go slow and eat plain for a few days, oatmeal, rice, soup, plain yogurt or make a smoothie. It's awful, I know...
