GeoGeo,
About two years ago I got acid reflux to the point where I started prescription medication. I decided to see what I could do to change my diet and prevent it, rather than treat it. I did two things - avoided sugary acidic foods (and adopted a gluten-free diet), and ate mostly alkaline-friendly foods. I also sleep with a bed wedge that slightly elevates my head. The results were excellent. The wheat belly book hementions above was very helpful.
Here is a link to a list of foods grouped by their alkaline/acid contents.

If you make smoothies out of the alkaline foods, you will do well. My favorite alkaline smoothie, which I make every morning in a blender, is:
1 cup water, 6 grapes, 6 baby carrots, 1/2 cup blueberries, half an apple (sliced), 2 tbsp ground flaxseed, 1/3 cup almond milk, two big handsful of baby spinach leaves, half a banana, two tbsp whey protein (Isopure, no sugar). Good luck!
