Any suggestions for acid reflux often also called GERD?

I have researched several websites, but no permanent solutions have appeared. One suggestion using a certain brand of apple worked for me, although I used an apple available in a local market. I still do not know the brand the website eluded to, as I did not pay for the fee to get the information. Being on limited income sucks.

Update:

Thank all those who have participated in my question. I believe in natural solutions. Pharmecuitical companies ar rich enough. A lot of good ideas. I took prescriptions without success.

    I had acid reflux that was that bad it paralysed one of my vocal cords, gave me sinusitus and caused damage in my stomach, Learn here how I cure it

    I was prescribed Lansoprazole which was brilliant but after two years of aching joints, extreme muscle pain which the doc gave me cortisone jags for, with some research I discovered the drug Lansoprazole was causing these rare side effects but it was I who diagnosed it NOT my doctor, I came off the drug 2 months ago, changed my diet and discovered just eating an apple stops any acid reflux, I eat an apple before bed, brilliant no acid, any time I feel the slightest sign of reflux I simply eat an apple.

    Apple juice is not that good nor is anything else I have tried including honey at stopping reflux.

    Apple is a god send for keeping acid at bay, brilliant!

    I found a SOLUTION. Purple water, Kangan water conversion machine! Makes different PH levels. I keep 9.5 PH water in the bathroom for those overnight problems.One glass helps, next trip to the bathroom one more glass, no problems.

    Never drink soda, it causes big problems. PH levels of all sodas are below PH standard, causing acid reflex.

    Another solution, move to the Philippines and eat mostly fresh vegetables and Milo chocolate drink. Add a chicken leg for lunch and another for dinner, every day.Eat ONLY chocolate oatmeal with banana honey oatmeal for breakfast.

    Both solutions work for me.

    I have that and take protonix...

    when I forget a day or two to take a pill and it catches up, I drink about a tablespoon or so of apple cider vinegar and that helps... another option is to mix a tablespoon or so of baking soda in a glass of water and drink it.

    The apple cider vinegar sounds weird, but it really does help.

    these aren't permanent solutions, only temp, but they do help.

    if you want permanent without medications or surgery, then you need to look at your diet and what is causing the problem and adjust it accordingly.

    Protonix. It's a medicine.

    Nexium never worked for me.

    stay away from acidy foods, like tomatoes, ketchup, stuff like that.

    acid reflux is terrible.

    I've been told that all soda intake should be eliminated and fatty foods such as chips should also be eliminated.
