Drink water regularly. This will help dilute stomach acid and wash away other stomach fluids that might otherwise work its way back up to the esophagus and cause irritation. Drink 1-2 glasses of water after eating a meal.

Step 2
Use apple cider vinegar to keep acid reflux under control. The acid in the apple cider vinegar counteracts the acid in the stomach, which makes it easier for the body to properly digest food. Drink 3 teaspoons of pure apple cider vinegar. If you can't stand the taste, you can add a little warm water. This is one of the best acid reflux home remedies because it can ease the most severe attacks of acid reflux, and prevent future attacks.
