Yes! It is called silent reflux also. There is plenty of information in this thread. GI doctors many times prescribe drugs that are not necessarily appropriate for this condition, like PPI’s.

Dr. Jamie Koufman has written numerous helpful books but you can also sign up for her blog, which addresses quite a few topics.

Best wishes to you! Cindy

For silent reflux it is recommended that you sleep at a 30 degree incline (or more). This may be a silly question, but as a side sleeper how do I keep from sliding down? I have some plastic wedge risers under the mattress that are about 5 inches high and I still slide to the flat part of the bed-even though that is not even thirty degrees. The wedge pillows did not work for me. My throat definitely hurts more when reclining.

Thank you for any tips!
Cindy
