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. :(

    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.
