I can sympathize with you as I too have GERD.  I have seen my doctor and also a gastroenterologist.  My doctor gave me a prescription for Zantac to be taken in the morning and the gastroenterologist told me to take Nexium at night as it is also a healing medication along with being a reflux deterrent.  Therefore, my doctor prescribed Nexium to take at bedtime.  One thing for nighttime is to elevate the top part of your body where you are sleeping in an inclined position.  This position keeps the acid from being able to back up into your esophagus.  You should not eat spicy foods or foods with tomatoes as they contain a lot of acid.  Some people have problems with eating whole kernel corn, baked beans or along that line.  Check online about GERD and some foods and drinks that should not be consumed.

I hope this helped you...Good luck.
