Some people do airway clearance first thing in the morning so they don’t have to worry about putting time between breakfast and clearance. I am not productive first thing in the morning so I have breakfast and go to the gym. Just as we are concerned about airway clearance after eating, many of us are also concerned about exercise. So I tried to put a couple of hours if not several hours between the two, but when I come up a little short, I take a teaspoon of an alginate.

Warm regards, Linda

Alginate as in Gaviscon? Or something else?

Thanks Linda, and my apologies if this seems daft, but when you say “many of us are also concerned about exercise” do you mean doing exercise after eating (because that presents similar aspiration risks)? I do exercise daily, and never fasted, so wondering if I need to tweak my approach. I am in the middle of a workup evaluating for GERD, no traditional symptoms but occasionally dry cough. So far, no positive results but two more procedures to go. But I have read that everyone aspirates a little; I didn’t realize exercise may increase the risk of aspiration. Though perhaps I am not understanding your last comment. p.s. I bought a copy of your book and found it very helpful, such a great resource!
