    Yes there are many thing you can do...
    Immediate -
    Have small frequent meals with low fat & proteins.
    Do not skip or postpond your meals.
    Relax yourself -stree increases gastric acidity
    Get 30 -45 degree angle when you are sleeping - it reduces reflux
    Avoid alcohol, quit smoking, avoid chocolate, avoid spicy foods
    Take medicine - Antacid, anti emetic & prokinetic, other acid lowering drugs
    Longterm...
    If obese/ over weight - reduce your weight
    Regular exercise & relaxation
    Dietary advice (depends on your diet)
    Medical & surgical treatment are there to help - your doc will do it
