Does anyone else struggle with acid reflux? (lemmy.ml)

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. :(

I have mild acid reflux (I assume? Never actually went to the doctor for it), I get pretty bad heartburn after eating a large meal and/or if I lie down soon after eating. Gets bad enough that it can actually prevent me from sleeping or concentrating on what I'm doing. I've found that the brand name drug Prepcid (not sure what the generic name is) works best for me. Weirdly, neither calcium carbonate (Tums) nor bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto Bismol) help very much with heartburn in my case, though my experience with the latter is limited since I don't take it very often.
