My mom has GERD and it's gotten to the point where she has nausea every day and some days can't keep food down. She has been on prescription meds for acid reduction and nausea and it isn't helping. I found a supplement made up of zinc, licorice root, ginger and artichoke leaf that she will start to take today. I will let you know if it's effective. These natural ingredients are supposed to help repair the damage caused by the acid, coat the system and reduce nausea. If it turns out to be effective, I'll report back. If you have any other suggestions, I'm interested in learning more. I just have to get her off the prescription meds. They are just making things worse.

On Dexilant now. Tried them all. Was also taking 2 famotidine (pepcid) pills a day. Someone told me to get off the famotidine, which I started doing yesterday. Had been on them for 4 years. Thanks!
