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 took some prebiotic today and will see what happens. The alginate antacid has worked so far, it's just the magnesium stuff and no PPIS. I'm only a week into this but I won't do the PPIs
My bed is already elevated 4" and I am going to try diet and lifestyle (eating too close to bed) stuff first. Also I've largely eradicated soda altho sometimes I will drink part of a soda
