Just had first GERD attack

This last Monday I had my first (that I'm aware of) full on GERD
attack, ended up taking an ambulance to the hospital as I thought I
was having a heart attack.
Now it seems that I got it permamently/regularly as I started to
having symptoms today at lunch (dammit!). Not that I won't be able to
reduce and manage these, but still............

Sooo, I'm doing some searching on the internet getting infomed about
this thing and see a bunch of websites advertising "natural" quick
fixes (essentially). But no community based posts or any other
references to these making me think they're probably of little value.

Very few "secrets" like this these days with the internet after all.

I've read the lists of foods to avoid and other reccomendations, so
those are "thou shalt nots".

Are there actually any foods that can help?
I've come across a few mentioned, any of which if available in pill
form look to be practical:
Papaya
Chamomile
Clove
Ginger root
Licorice
Turmeric

Any advice, and experiences would be greatly apreciated.
