For short term relief from GERD, I take Gaviscon. Works great, tastes like cupcakes.
For gagging, part of the natural response to a bad smell is to scrunch up your face; the reason for this is that smiling inhibits the gag reflex. If I feel nauseous and start gagging (rare, because my gag reflex is almost nonexistent,) a big cheek-lifting fake smile helps out until I can back away from whatever caused it.
