Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) is reported to have antibacterial properties (some reports claim its the preservatives in the GSE not the GSE itself). Some people have had success using it on babies with regurgitation problems. I would suspect that in these cases the regurgitation was due to some form of bacterial infection.

GSE is sometimes difficult to find, but a good place to start would be Health Food stores. A $10 bottle of GSE will last you for a very long time, since you only need about 6-7 drops per gallon of water.
