Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything you can do apart from be generally friendly and understanding when I am sometimes a bit slow to respond, but you were doing that anyway :)
It's quite possible that my reflux is worse than yours *in theory*, but since I'm on medication and you're not I imagine yours is much worse in practice. With me the main issue isn't so much the reflux itself but the fact that it sets off my cfs and throat.
By which I mean to say: Yes! A doctor! Nexium and Pariet are the two most common prescription treatments afaict, both have no side-effects beyond fixing reflux. If one doesn't work try the other and/or a higher dose.
And as seaya says, there are some good over-the-counter antacids, though apparently some can cause issues with overproduction of acids. I like Gaviscon myself.
