I mentioned in another post (mot everyday but often enough its an impediment socially)
That I sometimes have fits of feeling the urge to clear my throat and someone mentioned silent reflux. I just saw the throat dr and he said to take gaviscon (alginic acid) and to pursue the allergy shots I mentioned i was considering.
What other measures should i take to reduce or eliminate reflux? I also have an adjustable bed so im assuming its good to have it slightly sloping downwards so the head is highest and body is on a downwards slope with feet at lowest
Actual experience heartburn is quite rare for me altho I always kept Tums around and recently invested in a bottle of Gaviscon tablets
Apple cider vinegar pills. I took two each morning. I could feel my stomach was very acidic, but it didn’t really escape as regular reflux. Something about your stomach not being acidic enough to close the sphincter, so making it more acidic on purpose did the trick.
