Just got diagnosed with laryngopharangeal reflux or LPR, silent reflux.
Doc wants to put me on PPIs briefly but i dont trust that class of meds.
Any thought or alternative? Looking at alginate containing antacid like Gaviscon

I had surgery for a hiatal hernia, worst decision I made in my life. PPIs were the second worst.
I recommend getting off the PPIs ASAP. Don't stop cold turkey though, research how to wean yourself off them so you don't get rebound effects.
