If apple cider vinegar and baking soda doesn't work, there are two things:
Take it less frequently, but I would take instead a lime and baking soda remedy. The lime and baking soda remedy is 8 teaspoons of lime juice plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, in 1/2 glass of water taken twice a day.
The magnesium and potassium is needed also so I know it is about 250 mg of magnesium citrate and potassium citrate (or potassium bicarboante) should be taken, and the potassium is about 1/4 teaspoon should contain the problem.
A more comprehensive plan of acid reflux is best handled by getting a pocket pH meter and get urinary pH of 7. The second important thing to add is 1/4 teaspoon of potassium bicarbonate to the original remedy, at least once or twice a day, if I can get it.
If magnesium and potassium are obtainable, those should contain most of the acid reflux problems. The reason why it was not mentioned earlier is getting those are generally harder to obtain and most people have just the acid reflux, pregnancy only makes the condition more severe. This is why a woman gets nauseated and sometimes vomits because the body needs to get rid of the excess acidity in a very desperate way.
