I know a few of those people....I'm not one of them. I've found a wonderful and kind of unique remedy. It's actually a folk remedy and it really works. It sounds strange, but I swear by it. I'm plagued with heartburn. Maybe I won't have it for days, but when it hits, it hits HARD for days on end. I use organic apple cider vinegar (with the 'mother'....it has to have the 'mother' in it. Thats the sediment you see at the bottom of the bottle), honey and water tea. The dosage that works for me is to use at least a 10oz mug of water, 2 Tbs of apple cider vinegar and 2 Tbs honey. Heat it in the microwave and then sip it till gone. Individual tastes vary, so you can adjust the vinegar. It's best to try and consume at least 2 Tbs of vinegar a day in one way or another. Your heartburn will go away.

Persistent heartburn is the most common (but not the only) symptom of GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease). The main cause of reflux is abnormal function of the esophageal sphincter, a muscle located at the bottom of the esophagus where the esophagus joins the stomach. Some factors like certain foods or eating habits may aggravate the reflux, causing heartburn, but they are not the primary causes of GERD.

I would add that sometimes it's just genes. Sometimes it has to do with being overweight; it's also not uncommon during pregnancy. It can also be indicative of gall bladder disease, gastritis, or peptic/duodenal ulcers.
If you ask a gastroenterologist, they'll tell you basically that they really don't know why some people get heartburn and some don't!

I am having a problem and I dont know what it might be from. I have been having nausea in the morning only when i wake up. I cant even take my pills, walk, or eat anything until it goes away. I have been diagnosed with GERD. I now started my Heartburn Medication at night to see what it does but there are some changes not much. Could this be a sign of GERD not under control?

You should try a cup of ginger tea at night and again on rising in the morning. Buy real ginger root in the grocery store, peel it and slice it up. Add to boiling water and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain off the ginger pieces and drink a cup in the am and a cup in the pm.
It will keep nicely in the frig too. If it's too strong once you've made it, you can dilute it with a little more water.
This works great.
