Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is largely preventable through changes in lifestyle, which are also used as treatment.
Several measures may be taken to relieve gastroesophageal reflux. Raising the head of the bed about 6 inches (about 15 centimeters) can prevent acid from flowing into the esophagus as a person sleeps. Causative foods and drugs should be avoided, as should smoking. A doctor may prescribe a drug (for example, bethanechol or metoclopramide) to make the lower sphincter close more tightly. Coffee, alcohol, acid-containing beverages such as orange juice, cola drinks, and vinegar-based salad dressings, and other substances that strongly stimulate the stomach to produce acid or that delay stomach emptying should be avoided as well.

The BEST one I have ever used is a teaspoon of baking soda in a small glass of water. Just mix it up slam it and chase with fresh water. It works like magic.

Bananas, Ginger, Giger Ale, teaspoon or two of baking soda in water. Keep your upper body inclined (head and chest above stomach) if you lie down. Alternative: Get really trashed or high on something so you can't feel anything.

Baking soda. Mix a 0.5 teaspoon to 0.5 cup of water. Works really well.
