Excellent.Yes, went to an ENT 15 years ago, about a persistent cough, he did a scope look at my throat, via my nasal passages. He suspected acid reflux, and prescribed Prevacid (as a prescription back then). The Prevacid worked wonders. No more coughing, no more acid. Then I went off it and the cough didn't come back for a while. But it did come back, and the acid, eventually. I don't want Barret's esophagus or any of that stuff, of course. I talked to my GP about the cough at my last physical. If I can't control the acid naturally, I may go on something like Omeprazole semi-permanently.
There are all sorts of lists (online) of foods to avoid if subject to excess stomach acid. Most of the lists are consistent.
Also, timing your eating of possible triggering foods while you are upright is a good way to minimize the acid reflux symptoms.
I continue to eat pizza, drink coffee and eat tomatoes and citrus fruits, but never in the evening before laying prone. I also eat easy to digest food for dinner as a preventative measure.
I also saw a reference (online) to elevating your mattress using blocks of wood under the portion where your head is.
Timing and gravity are your best allies to minimize the symptoms.
