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 smoked for about 14 years, half a pack a day or less. Haven't had any issues since quitting re: cravings. My son asked me to quit one day so I did. I never smoked inside or even around the kids and never in the car either. I was always Very conscientious about it. Sorry you have aftereffects from your dad's habit.
You're a good dad to quit for your son. Stay strong and you'll both be glad you did.
Yeah, when I was a kid, there was no such thing as no smoking in buildings/cars/houses/restaurants. A lot more people smoked, and they did it anywhere they wanted, all the time. Things are a lot better these days as far as people not being able to smoke in public places. The smoking is ultimately what killed my father.
It's probably why I have the reflux idk. Maybe that will improve as I get further out. I'm only about 8 or 9 months in so far
