I've seen plenty of discussions about what to do to prevent gerd but once it has you in its grip it can be terribly painful. What can I do to relieve the pain. I've read I shouldnt use anti acids and they don't really relieve the pain anyway. It seems like water or something might wash away the acid but i've tried that and it doesnt really work either. Help.
