I don't see anything about carbonated beverages in those comments? I've had good results with some of the exercises mentioned there, but since then have been in a rut unable to make it stop (my only symptom of GERD is a small persistent cough, which sucks more than it sounds like). I drink a lot of sparkling water though. Do I need to give that up too?

Carbonated beverages expand once swallowed, not helpful if your LES is relaxed.

That helped more (for me) than the minimal weightloss, so far.
