  With my reflux I find a good belch helps.
  Some times I'll have a good slug of milk that neutralizes the acid.
  And there is also baking soda and water.  That's nasty tasting stuff
and have to drink the glass in one gulp to be effective.  That'll produce
a window rattling result.

  I love fruits of all sorts and when in season I eat a lot.
  What I dislike are fruits in stores that aren't ripe, but I set them
out and will ripen at room temp over a few days.
