@pamelaeck I had GERD a lot and then learned a year ago that I have non IgE allergy to corn. I try to avoid it, but corn is in everything. I get GERD when I eat “hidden corn”. I also started looking at foods that have cross reactivity with environmental allergens. Maybe look at allergens?

@pamelaeck ,
I'm so sorry you are having this problem with coughing! That must be terrible for you! I don't have quite that problem but I do get a ticklish throat sometimes and cough a lot. What helps me then is to gargle with Listerine, the original not the new flavored ones. It stings a little if there's some infection but it also soothes. For me it has stopped the coughing in a little while.
You also might check the side effects of all of your medications to see if they may be contributing to your problem.
Prayer also works. God made you and he can fix you! I'll say a prayer for you also.
I wish you the best.
