I'm finding all this info on acid reflux to be very helpful--must remember Gala apples and not Granny Smith. My library has 2 books I plan to check out on this topic, though they are not the books mentioned here.
My reflux is fine right now, but I know emotions play a role also. I would always have problems with coughing non-stop when the in-laws would visit years ago for 10 days at a time. And the week before DS and DDIL's wedding, I was doing the same thing. Used to tell my doctor that I was coughing and gagging a lot, but never was diagnosed until an episode that sent me to urgent care. That was just 3 years ago. It was such a relief to know the cause of all that discomfort and to finally get it under control. Thought maybe I was allergic to the in-laws!
I mainly try to avoid tomato sauce, onions, peppers, and carbonated drinks. Also have learned not to overeat or I will regret it!
