@mayocarlost no idea about where to find probiotics mentioned in video; maybe a google search. There are others that have been mentioned on this site you may want to try.

Probiotics are only a small step when dealing with reflux. Dr Huitt outlines steps to take to diminish reflux. The important ones are to stop eating drinking 3 hours before bedtime and elevating the head of the bed with a sleeping wedge and blocks under the head of the bed. Or use an adjustable bed with an angle to keep shoulders raised above esophagus and stomach. Have you tried any of these steps? They take some commitment but I think you’ll find it’s worth it.

Thanks Scoop for quick response, well I used the 2 options. The first with the portable widged pillow for Acid Reflux, very easy to use. And the second I got it after I got the MAC, more fancy but as in the video the issue is sleeping down off from your original position . Hope in the future these things will come up with more options. Enjoy your holidays…

@mayocarlost I was diagnosed with GERD until the 24hr PH test - more than a year later - confirmed that I didn’t have GERD. I had very real symptoms of lung issues that were missed and/ or dismissed unfortunately. We all can have episodes that cause GERD evidently.
Like @scoop, I still don’t eat at least two hours before bed, use a wedge pillow and I chew my food well and don’t drink a lot of liquid during the actual meal. I would use a PPI very rarely, if I’m planning on eating a very fatty or spicy meal.
Of course, now with a diagnosis of BE I drink lots of water, exercise and never miss a day using my Aerobika for airway clearance. Hope this might help.
