I have BE but can’t take PPIs or H2 Blockers. I’ve developed a cough. How do I treat it?

I too have acid reflux and coffee drinker for many many years. Was very difficult to not have that morning Brew. I tried decaf still had gerd symptoms. I did finally come upon French chicory hot drink. Looks like coffee almost tastes like coffee and I really am enjoying it now I put some creamer and a little honey in it. So I look forward to that in the morning. I am totally caffeine free. Try the chicory coffee at amazon.com. I hope that works for you.

It was tough for me to stop coffee as well. The headaches do go away after a day or two. The key for me was getting a variety of herbal teas and using those as my morning beverage. I have grown to really enjoy different herbal teas. It is also important to stay hydrated, so I make sure I am drinking lots of water, and probably grabbing water where I would have been getting a coffee. I hope this helps.

I should also say that I too had headaches after tapering off caffeine. There again I went to Amazon and got there ice hats. It's a hat with blocks of ice in it and it really helps the headache. You should ask about 20 minutes or half hour and by then my headache is a lot less severe if not gone. Hope this works for you.
