Does drinking water help acid reflux?

I am a 28 year old female who has problems with acid reflux. Does drinking water help acid reflux?

Not really - only to the extent that drinking fluids can physically clear the esophagus of the refluxed acid.
It can help to some extent with heartburn at times, by washing the acid down from your esophagus into the stomach.
