I have silent aspiration according to a speech swallowing study I did at NJH. However, the Bravo study showed no reflux. I cough with certain foods...spicy and more. I see a speech pathologist. If I followed what I'm supposed to do , I shouldn't aspirate. Often I forget. Luckily, haven't had any repercussions. Good luck with the test results you're awaiting. Roz

It seems that not all reflux tests are very accurate. I would be interested to know what your speech pathologist recommended to ease/prevent reflux? Tucking your chin down when swallowing clear liquids or tipping your head backwards? The smells from cooking (seldom these days) garlic ginger and chilli used to send me into coughing fits.
I wonder what is the best way to test for silent aspiration.

@rozie83 Do you have cough with mucus production? Any other symptoms?
