The source of my GERD is a weak sphincter from aging(I am 65).I have not found any exercises that strengthen the sphincter so I eat a cleanly.I am on the "Eating Right For Your Blood Type Diet.A book by the same title by Dr.Peter J D'Adamo has all the info.I do cheat occasionally and I do drink coffee.I back off of coffee if I have an episode that becomes an issue.I am pretty certain that if i stopped drinking coffee I would be even better. To our health Irma! Renie

Virgin olive oil....drinking it straight is wonderful remedy.I am going to start making cucumber water by the pitcher.....many slices of cuc,stabbing them w/ a fork to release the juices,fill w/ water,store in frig for 2-3 days to steep...the coolness of the cuc and cold water may help soothe the tum tum.I also fork stab the ginger root slices the 3rd use. Namaste....renie
