Definitely: Cough,usually nonproductive, is a common symptom in GERD cases. A gastroenterologist could help you with meal advice and medication if you have true GERD.

Yes: Night and early morning cough may be related to GERD; however, the cough during eating is not common. If this persists you may need to see a doctor to find out what's causing it.

Can be symptom: But other things besides GERD can lead to cough, such as problems with your swallowing reflex or pouches in your feeding tube. GERD symptoms may more likely occur at night when lying flat, or after eating. You should make an appointment with your primary provider to begin evaluation of this.
