Autoimmune disease and acid reflux

Has anyone been able to use just natural remedies for treating heartburn when it's related to an autoimmune disease like Scleroderma?  I have to use Nexium supposedly for the rest of my life and I'm concerned about the long term side effects.  Along with the meds, I still use all the guidelines for treating GERD, but I just can't get any relief when I use only the natural alternatives.

Hi KGfitness,
Drinking baking soda added to water can provide symptomatic relief from heartburn.
But the effect is only transient and later it may even worsen the symptoms.
