@woot Thanks for your post. I have heard about Gaviscon...I will keep it in the back of my mind. I'm not ready for trying a medication, just yet.
I am hoping the pillow suggestion of placing my feather pillows on the wedge will help a couple of ways.

@blm1007blm1007 My prior pulmonologist advised strongly against feather pillows as they can give rise to a certain type of pneumonia. I had to get rid of my down comforters and down jackets after that. Never had feathers pillows.

Gaviscon uses seaweed to mitigate the effects of GERD. It works well. However, if you are ever on other antibiotics, they may need spacing in time from the Gaviscon as it can lessen their effects. Gaviscon can be quite effective with GERD, so don't be afraid of it.
