Thank you so much, Sue. I did have a barium swallow test at National Jewish Health to check for GERD. The test revealed a minimal amount of acid reflux.
Like my father, I did not take any heartburn medication until my 70's. I will be especially careful about the AlkaSelter. Apart from that, I do not take any aspirin.
It seems that with my Bronchiectasis, I cannot overly fill my stomach, or else I cough and produce mucus. And of course, if I eat too late in the day, I get heartburn.
