Suggest Alternative Treatments For Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Good afternoon. I suffer from Gerd, but sometimes it causes swelling in the abdominal area,excessive vomiting ,and painful muscle spasms. I have had an endoscopsy, I have taken every kind of antacid med, proton pump inhibitors, etc. At this time nothing is working. I am about to see my gastroenterologist,probably for further testing. Any recommendations. Should I try homeo or naturopathic treatments?
