I have acid reflux and take an OTC med for it, but two other things that have helped me tremendously are 1. propping up the head of my bed by about two inches -- it helps keep the stomach acid from refluxing while you sleep, and 2. taking ginger capsules. You can find them at health food stores, etc. I take two in the AM and two in the evening. They help me control the reflux symptoms almost completely.

Also, my acid reflux symptoms have gotten a lot better since I was first diagnosed, so tell him not to give up hope! Once he gets the condition under control, he will probably be able to start adding his favorite foods back into his diet.
