   Prevacid didn’t work for me either. I use Prilosec OTC. You can buy it at any drugstore. It does take about 3-4 days to start working.
   If no medication is working for you then i suggest you see a Gastro Specialist.

   Hm… 12 years old??? Aren’t you a bit YOUNG? Anyways, my 11-year-old sister comes here(She answers whenever she knows the answer of the question that I opened, or if it was her essay ^^) so why not?

   Acid reflux disease treatments are broken down into lifestyle changes, over-the-counter acid reflux medicine, prescribed acid reflux medication, natural remedy for acid reflux and acid reflux surgery.
   Natural cure for acid reflux

   The best natural remedy for acid reflux is actually lifestyle changes as discussed above. Other natural cure may include herbal remedies for acid reflux such as herbal tea, cinnamon, pineapples, grapefruit and chicory root tea. Some people use homeopathic cure such as acid reflux and vinegar. One should always proceed with caution when using alternative acid reflux medicine.

   Over-the-counter acid reflux medicine

   When lifestyle changes are not enough, you may have to resort to over-the-counter acid reflux medicine. The most common over-the-counter acid reflux medicines are antacids and H2 blockers. Antacids relies on the principle of reducing the amount of acid in the stomach whereas H2 blocker inhibit the secretion of acid in the stomach. When the acidity in the stomach is reduced, the occurrence of acid reflux reduces too. However, there are some harmful side effects that one should take note.

   Acid reflux surgery

   For those who do not wish to rely on medication indefinitely, or the medication is simply ineffective, the last option is acid reflux surgery. There is a surgical operation that can be conducted to strengthen the barrier between the esophagus and the stomach, thus preventing acid reflux from happening. The surgery is conducted through laparoscopy and such surgery has good track record of successful cases.
