Xylitol: Xylitol is a natural sugar and breaks up biofilm in the body. That's where germs multiply. It is found in a nasal spray called xlear (pronounced "clear"). Check w/your doctor. DGL is a natural licorice product for acid reflux. Peace and good health.

Multifactoral: pepsin reflux (non-acid) probably more at work in your case. This is why PPIs may not help. Suggest looking on PubMed for articles. Weight, diet habits, caffeine, peppermint, smoking, late meals, esophageal sphincter problems, etc. all factors. Not limited to these. best to see ENT or gastroenterology for refractory LPR symptoms. Esophagram, multichannel impedance probe testing, 24-hr pH probe
