@narelled23 This is what they prescribed to help reflux during meals:
Take a small sip
Look down
Swallow hard
Swallow two times per bite
After 1-2 bites, take a sip (With Chin tuck) to clear residue
If you have to cough, cough HARD then swallow

I don't cook much. Mostly I eat easy to prepare soft foods. A lot of eggs, oatmeal, potatoes, chopped nuts, turkey burgers, pasta, some bread and bagels, etc.

@rozie83 Take pills with applesauce sometimes
Avoid mixing consistencies...no soup with carrots or noodles, etc
Another whole list from NJH.

@rozie83
So you are saying your coughing during meals is caused by reflux and this technique interrupts that. Not sure I suffer during meals.
Thank you.

@rozie83 I find that if what I am eating is on the dry side that will cause me a problem , it doesn't go down easily. Thanks for posting what you learned.
