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
