If from stress... remove the stress.
The best way to treat acid reflux is with proper eating habits. When we are stressed, we tend to not eat regular meals and we munch a lot. Best to keep a well balanced diet. If the acid gets to be a lot, drink a cup of whole milk non organic.
Stress is not know to cause acid reflux. I would first explore whether what you perceive as reflux might actually be something else. Stress more typically causes or exacerbates other GI conditions, so I would look for another possible explanation.
