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
