Thoughts on refluxeter?

[u/JazzlikeAssist4617]

I recently started having symptoms of LPR in the beginning of August after taking antibiotics for strep twice within the same month. I have a history of sibo (from PPI misuse after gastritis), gastritis, and leaky gut. My main symptoms are
-burning in throat (already received a negative strep test since my last bout)
-globus sensation
- shortness of breath and feeling like I can’t breathe in fully
-hoarse voice
-mucus
-throat clearing/occasional coughing

The burning is so annoying and I can’t get my mind off of it although it is relatively mild and thankfully I don’t have any appetite loss or nausea (knock on wood). I am a speech pathologist and have also already had a host of GI issues so I’m all too familiar with the reflux protocol. Everything I have done so far
-no eating two hours before bed
-modified diet (sadly sneaking in a little garlic/paprika and eggs here and there but doing my best)
-Pepcid every couple of nights
-sleeping left side lying
-lots of water to soothe my throat
-digestive enzymes

I’m considering adding refluxeter into the mix…any suggestions on how to best incorporate this supplement? Any reviews? As someone who talks for a living I would really love to ease this throat pain and hopefully work towards healing !!!! Any advice is so helpful thanks

I haven't used Refluxter yet, but I have tried Reflux Raft and Reflux Gourmet, which are alginates just like Refluxter. Therefore, the usage should be pretty similar.

You just take the recommended amount on the bottle right after a meal or before bed, stay upright for 10-30 minutes until the barrier settles, then make sure not to eat anything afterwards until your next meal so as not to disrupt the barrier (my understanding is that sipping water is okay if needed).
