Baking soda neutralizes acidity. About 1/2 spoon mixed in water twice a day to drink. Just remember, pain is nature's way to tell you that you are doing something right or wrong. If taking Baking soda eases your pain then you are going in the right direction but a time will come that your body doesn't need it. So your pain will start going up. Then you must interrupt it. Also drinking green Tea controls acidity. Look for an Indian grocery store called PATEL BROTHERS in your part of the town. They are all over. Buy a bag of Green Tea and also small bag of Green Cardamom. What I normally do is, boil a cup of water (filtered water) with 2 or 3 Cardamom in it. After boiling for a minute 80% spoon full of green mix in the boiling water. In a few seconds it will turn golden color, that's when I strain it through a strainer to filter out tea leaves. I mix a spoon of sugar but you don't have to do that. If you can drink that instead of drinking water. You can drink it as many times. I limit myself the most to 8 cups a day. It will help you. I hope that you recover sooner than you wish.
