I've tried every gerd drug out there (over the counter & Rx) & so far none has worked at all. Wasted a lot of $. Ant-acid chews help a bit. Liquid Sucralfate helps some people but not me. It requires an Rx. I'm concerned about damage being caused to the remains of my esophagus from the 24/7 gerd flow because the essential valve between the stomach & the esophagus was removed in surgery. It's the only way to prevent the flow of stomach acid into the esophagus.
