Having tried a round of H2 Blockers and PPI meds and having no effect on the symptoms of LPR my GP has suggested I try a drug called Sucralfate which is the generic for Carafate. Just curious to know if anyone here has tried this and could provide any feedback

    I have tried this and it worked for a couple of weeks the tablets are quite big and a few people have said that if you swallow them whole they expand in your throat and you feel as if you are choking , I dissolved them in a little water before taking them unfortunately nothing seems to work for getting rid of sour taste I have from acid reflux
