I've been told to take ranitidine by my doctor, but I would prefer not to have to take another drug for the rest of my life. What are some effective natural remedies I could try?

I have treated acid reflux, GERD, and heartburn by homeopathy and acupressure.
You can see if it works for you.

Homeopathy:
Try a combination of Acid Sulphuricum 30 + Carbo Veg 30 + Nux Vomica 30 - 4 pills ever 2 hours for one day, then every 4 hours next day, and 4 times daily for 4 days.

There are no side effects in homeopathy.

There are some home remedies too:

·Drinking milk or eating milk products are helpful in relieving symptoms of acidity.
·Foods such as pickles, vinegar, fried foods, hot spicy foods, chocolate, pastries, and raw salad vegetables like onion, radish, cabbage, and peppers should be avoided.
·Clove also helps to relieve the symptoms of acidity. Suck one piece of clove slowly to relieve the symptoms. It also helps to reduce the onset of disease that arises due to acidity.
·A cup of vanilla ice cream or a glass of cold milk also helps to get relieve heartburn and acidity within minutes.

Just curious. A relative has it, and would like to avoid all the pharma stuff.

I use apple cider vinegar with a large glass of water as a natural remedy for many things that cause me to be sick. I NEVER use any acidic products without the appropriate liquids to go with it. Straight vinegar will cut right through your intestines and cause severe stress to your body. IT WILL SCREW YOU UP. By the way, I use the white vinegar to wash my windows at home and on my car, even to clean my rims. You should consult a doctor first, then you might try alternative medicines. Let the doctor prescribe something that will be custom made for you. If you have no allergies, or have identifed what allergies you have, you are already on the right track. I want for you to feel better soon. Know this, "God daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation." Selah. Psalm 68:19. Always remember, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" - Romans 8:31. Peace and God Bless.
