> my body doesn’t naturally produce enough “good” acid

Exactly. The amount of people completely, and utterly, misinformed about acid reflux is astounding. You don't have too much acid, you don't have enough!

Ditching the dairy and drastically cutting back on animal flesh will cure most heartburn/acid reflux.

For me it was increasing meat and fat and cutting carbs. Doing that has all but eliminated my reflux until I change my diet for a moderate amount of time.
For me, it's cutting out (or at least, reducing) Pizza... my favorite part of the food pyramid
I had a similar experience. Full keto diet and it's gone completely (it used to be a huge problem). I'm not saying that carbs were the sole cause. I think it was a combination of the carbs and fat and just being overweight in general. Losing weight and sticking to a relatively healthy diet can work wonders for your body.
I started taking a probiotic (cheapest at whole foods) and stopped getting acid reflux all together.

Sounds like moving to a healthy diet to me...

I think I could actually hear my eyes rolling just now.
