Noninvasive GERD Treatments
Less severe GERD cases may be managed through lifestyle changes or medication. Examples include:
- Diet
- Weight loss
- No late night eating
- Sleeping position
- Medication
- Antacids (neutralize or buffer stomach acid)
- H2 blockers (ranitidine, cimetidine) (block the body's signal to the stomach to produce acid)
- Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) (block the secretion of acid into the stomach)
