@dearley I found Kouffman's book on Chronic Cough useful too. When I go by dietary guidelines for the condition, the level of muscus does improve. I do have hoarseness also.
Hi @dearley - I believe the full title of the book you were referencing and the author is:
Killing Me Softly From Inside: The Mysteries & Dangers Of Acid Reflux And Its Connection To America's Fastest Growing Cancer With A Diet That May Save Your Life by Jonathan E. Aviv
Is this correct?
Would you have two or three key tips from this book and the Chronic Cough Enigma book by Jamie Kouffman that helped you?
@dearley I read Kouffman’s books, modified my diet roughly based on her suggestions and my symptoms are reduced.

@dearley what dosage and how often are you taking Nortryptiline? Was it recommended that you take this forever, or taper off at some point? I may ask my primary about this.
