I have been dealing with acid reflux since 2017; (I think it’s LPR; GERD usually includes heartburn; I don’t have hearburn.)
- I spit a lot after eating stuff.
- The lemon-scented lime-scented lysol wipes made my reflux worse (I spit even more).q
The acid reflux started after I moved homes. I also changed schools; I didn’t really like the school I was changing to.
Acid reflux would not probably be so bad if I just had acid reflux. However, I also have Autism and ADHD; ADHD makes me eat a lot of stuff, which sucks because eating smaller meals is important for recovery. :(

It can be affected by eating habits, specific food or diets, anxiety and physical biological reasons. Some personal recommendations are: avoid foods that cause it, try to reduce your stress with self care and professional treatment, and see a specialist to see if your severity may recommend surgery.
Yeah I struggle with it from time to time, I had to stop consuming lemon/lime water because it kept on making my acid reflux much worse.
RIP. I still keep eating trigger foods (generally junk food).
Have you tried proton pump inhibitors? One tiny capsule of omeprazole makes my acid reflux go away for hours within seconds after swallowing it
I have tried PPIs. I’ve been on 20mg omeprazole; but it was apparently too low of a dosage. The dosage got bumped up to 40mg.
I struggle with taking it consistently; because my brain is like this; but also I’m worried about the long-term effects of long-term PPI usage.
