Been on this awful GERD ride myself for a few years. Found that CBD Oils have been able to not just treat but also prevent the symptoms.

If you aren’t trying them it might be a good time to start.

How do you take the CBD?

I've been vaping it for 3.5 months now, paid €30 for the vaporizer, and €30 for 10ml liquid with 100mg of CBD (quite low concentration, others might need more). 1-2 puffs per day are perfect for me (there seems to be an individual optimum dosage; I feel quite anxious after say 10 puffs), and I think the bottle will last 6 months in total. It's a godsend, seriously recommend it to anybody. I'm slowly getting sharper every month, to the point that difficult programming tasks and musical pieces don't bother me at all anymore. I can/could work 30% longer every day without feeling terrible at night, and my musical hearing has improved SO much. I also have my first healthy tan since age 18 or so, and way more freckles (lost those over the years) - people keep telling me how healthy I look.

Regarding GERD - I don't have it, but the reason why it helps might be that it suppresses acid production a bit. Or maybe because it's anti-inflammatory (GERD has been linked to increased cytokine production lately).

I consume edibles and oils.

It’s been a miracle for my GERD & anxiety. From what I’ve read it treats inflammation, reduces anxiety, and acts as a pain killer.
