As John wrote, an antiacid may help as well as taking a little bit of liquid Gaviscon at night before you go to sleep. It may keep all that stuff down there rather than up in your throat. Alcohol is a great irritant. Probably best only in moderation and consumed with food which buffers its effects.
I have been down on the medical establishment lately, but I am a great believer in having symptoms checked out and properly diagnosed by a medical doctor. A stitch in time saves nine....You can then take control of your treatment, work with your doctor, try natural remedies or whatever, but you know what you are dealing with.
