I lost 35 pounds, fortunately for me it was the weight that caused acid reflux(and a host of other issues).
I've had it for years and finally saw my Dr. I have been on Dexilant for 3 years and couldn't be happier. It is a pill you have to take every morning.
I can eat whatever I want and when I want it. I do recommend cutting back on caffeine/coffee. It makes the flap or entrance to your stomach loosen up/relax and allows whatever is in there to travel up your throat.

I found that sleeping on a bed wedge (wedge shaped hard foam pillow) helped me the most. According to my wife it also cut out most of my snoring also.
Prilosec every day for me, though if I could lose some weight the acid reflux would probably disappear again.
I'm 5'9, weigh 155lbs, exercise regularly, and eat fairly healthy. When my acid reflux acts up the Dr. has me take Dexilant in the Morning, 40mg omeprosole at noon, and two Zantac 150 at night. After about two weeks I'm usually all good. Fortunately only flares up 1-2 times per year now.

Holy crap, man.
I take Prilosec daily and it works great for me. Zantac did okay, but I was having to take two a day and even then sometimes I'd wake up in the middle of the night needing a Rolaid once or twice a week. Always having Braggs ACV in the house, I've tried it for heartburn, but probably didn't give it enough time. I actually like the taste, which is why I always have it.
