Prevent/Control LPR: LPR=laryngo-pharyngeal reflux. Avoid foods & behavior that delay stomach emptying &/or relax lower esophageal sphincter--spicy, fatty food (ice cream), mints, alcohol, tobacco, chocolate, tomato-based products, caffeinated & fizzy drinks, eating before bedtime. Lose weight. Elevate head of bed on blocks. Consider trying acid blockers for relief (H2-blockers or PPIs). See GI doctor if persists.
