Drink a glass of water upside down. If it lasts a long time like 30 minutes or so, go see a doctor. you might have some type of a preexisting condition in your esophagus, which can be serious. If it lasts a long time, please dont wait to see a doctor.

Accupuncture is wonderful for this. For an at-home solution, put deep pressure on the divet between your collar bones (center, just below neck) and push down. This is a great acupressure point for reflux. Hold until you feel better.

I agree that spasms in the diaphragm are to blame but I have found an unbeatable cure (at least for me)...Peanut Butter! As soon as it touches my tongue the hiccoughs are gone!

the best type is gaviscon which has a type of seaweed in it, covering the acidic food in your stomach with a cool soothing liquid, neutralising the acid and preventing acid reflux. As the food was eaten several days ago an H2 inhibitor might be more effective which increases alkalinity of your intestine.(generic name ranitadine) It won't help straight away tho.stick to easily digestible foods, don'e eat too much fat or protein and try to eat some fruit and drink pleanty of veg to help get rid of the waste food inside.

There are some low cost things you can do to get your health back.\n\n#1. I would try the water cure\nhttp://curezone.com/foods/watercure.asp\nDrink six glasses of water each day and add 1/4 teaspoon of unrefined sea salt to the water to start remineralizing and rehydrating your body\n\n#2. If you do not have Pancreatitis from drinking, it may be that gall stones are causing the problem. You can prepare for a gallbladder flush by drinking 1/3 teaspoon of raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar in 6 ounces of apple juice, upon rising, mid-morning, mid-afternoon and after dinnner, for one week. You can dilute the apple juice with distilled water, as I prefer. Dilution is especially recommended if you are hypoglycemic. The small stones and gravel will be removed and cleansed due to the solvent action of the malic acid, enzymes, pectins and potassium in the ACV. \n\nThen do a Gallblader Flush;\nThis method requires filling an 8 ounce glass with one part organic virgin olive oil and two parts organic apple juice. Add 1 teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar and take this mixture 3 times a day for the first day and 2 times a day on the second day. You may only drink as much apple juice as you desire on these 2 days but NO other liquids. This is not recommended for diabetics because of th high sugar content of the apple juice. Go to sleep on your right side with your right knee drawn up to the chest. On the third day, about mid-morning, eat a raw salad with generous amounts of ACV and organic olive oil on top. You can also eat lightly steamed greens, if you like. When you have a bowel movement you will notice tiny greenish stones in the bowl. Amazing! You may notice feeling nauseated as toxins, bile and mucus dump into your stomach. Should this happen, drink 1-2 glasses of distilled water and regurgitate, if you can. This will help you feel immediately better.\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=179&p=1\n\n#3 Give yourself a coffee enema after the gallblader flush(critical)\nFill enema bag\nHook about 4 feet above floor (on towel rack)\nKnee-chest position with chest against floor and rectum higher than head\nInsert nozzle tip into rectum, using lubricant (olive oil) if needed\nEmpty water into rectum, and hold inside rectum as much as possible\nMassage abdomen in counter-clockwise direction\nWhen bag is empty or no more fluid can be held, remove tip\nLie on each side for 5 minutes, while massaging abdomen\nDiscard contents of rectum into toilet\nRepeat until bag is empty\nhttp://curezone.com/art/read.asp?ID=33&db=5&C0=818\n\n#3 When you complete these cleanses, coninue drinking distilled water each day but avoid processed foods, meat, dairy, bread, sugary drinks, and diet drinks. Your body needs to have a chance to heal itself.\nhttp://notmilk.com\n\n#4 Eat mostly fruits and raw vegetables. Carrot juice has amazing healing qualities. So do blueberries. Eat or juice raw tomatoes, raw cucumbers, raw celery, raw spinach, and raw asparagus. Add Curcimin(Turmeric) to juices.\n\n#5 Vitamin C in high doses would be beneficial.\n\n#6 Get at least one hour of sunlight each day. \n\n#7 Get plenty of solid rest

You might try drinking a half-teaspoon of baking soda in a half-glass of water. That should neutralize some of the acid. But if you truly have acid reflux, you should take something like Zantac (no prescription) to help control the amount of acid in your stomach. Also prevent the reflux by eating smaller meals, by not wearing tight belts, but not lying down after a large meal, etc. \n\nIf the condition persists, you should have it checked out. Several other diseases (ulcers, stomach cancer, etc) can have similar symptoms. Also, if the reflux continues, the acid could eat a hole in your esophagus.

Go see your Doctor.  Sounds like your esophagus is really irritated.  Probably a severe case of GERD.

See a doctor before doing anything. Here is one idea:\n\n\nTreating acid reflux first involves medication.  Over the counter medications such as: antacids, Zantac, and Pepcid can ease the heartburn symptoms and provide temporary relief.  Prescription medications are usually the best option because they can also help your esophagus heal.  These are called Proton Pump Inhibitors (PIP).  They work to stop some of the digestive acid from being produced to stop acid reflux and give your esophagus a chance to heal.  Some of these medications are:  Prevacid, Nexium, and Prilosec.

First, try sipping plain water slowly. Start out with a couple of sips, and see if you hold it down. Try drinking the water normally, and see if that works. Then, try gatorade or an electrolyte solution(pedialyte or similar, availiable at a pharmacy). DONT drink clear soda, this will irritate your stomach. Once you know you can hold down water, try the other liquids you need for nutrition, since you won't be able to hold down solids yet. Once a day passes, you can try some solids. Start out with crackers and bread, and make sure you hold it down until you move on. You can try watery fruits, like watermelon or melons, too. The last thing you should eat is dairy and especially meat, as they require a lot of energy to break down, which when you have a stomach virus, you don't have. Hope this helps, feel better!

Asprin doesn't help...\n\nLol. If you can get a prescription, try Ranitidine. If not, drink gatorade and carbonation. Balance them out, b/c carbonation settles your stomach, but too much will dehydrate you. Drink the gatorade to keep yourself hydrated.\n\nTry something mild to eat at first, like soda (Saltine) crackers.\n\nFeel better soon!
