Hello,
I was hoping to get a variety of answers to see if there is anything else I can try to help my GERD. Right now I'm on 40mg Omeprazole twice a day, and still having burning discomfort in stomach and esophagus at times. I am not eating the foods and beverages that are most commonly listed not to consume . I also have a small hiatal hernia . Thanks in advance.

Have you tried eating in smaller and more frequent meal? I eat 5x a day.
Try to exercise in the morning for 15-30 min daily
Also try to relax and reduce stress
You may also want to walk for a stroll for 15 min post meal, it helps me
Do not sit/sleep post meal, if you sit, sit properly in straight manner
Sleep early and rest more when possible
Drink a lot of fluids, water is best
Eat easy to digest food for the next couple of months

Hope that helps!

Keep a food diary and try and identify your trigger foods. Your trigger foods could be totally different than what's commonly listed not to consume. The small hernia shouldn't make a difference, they are usually only a problem when they become larger. You might talk to your doctor about trying a different PPI, if yours is not giving you enough relief of your system has gotten used to it and it's not as effective. If you need to, lose weight and become more active. Also, you may try raising the head of your bed six inches.
