Welcome to Acid Reflux Blog
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, commonly referred to as GERD or acid reflux, is a condition in which the liquid content of the stomach regurgitates (backs up or refluxes) into the esophagus. The liquid can inflame and damage the lining (cause, cause esophagitis) of the esophagus although visible signs of inflammation occur in a minority of patients.

Should I take Benzonatate (aka. Tessalon Perles) for cough brought on by acid reflux/GERD?
Posted on November 3rd, 2009 2 commentsI have been having this dry cough for several years now, there is no phlegm accompanying the cough, and the coughs almost always start at the end of a meal. Would it help to take Benzonatate (aka. Tessalon Perles) for this cough? What are the side effects, if any?Related posts:

A diet too high in animal protein, processed sugar, caffeine, processed foods will disrupt the precious alkaline balance in your system and eventually produce degeneration and disease.
i’m sorry i have no knowledge of the Benzonatate ……….. my rule of thumb when i’m putting something into my mouth is that if i can’t pronounce it or don’t know what it is i don’t eat it or drink it.
your acid reflux is a symptom of bad digestion and I suggest it would be preferable to include more alkaline foods in your daily routine such as leafy and green vegies like broccolli, kale, chard, celery, buk choy, lemons, garlic etc.etc……… with the lemons, even though they are quite tart and acidic to taste they leave behind an ash residue that is very alkaline ………. you would need to rinse your mouth out thoroughly to protect the enamel on your teeth after eating the fruit or drinking the diluted lemon juice……….. all these foods will increase the production of hydrochloric acid in your tummy thus aiding in the digestive process and helping to smooth elimination.

cut back on milk and dairy products too for a few days and see if that alleviates the problem ……. many people are intolerant to the lactose or casein found in milk and dairy products and therefore don’t efficiently digest them.
leafy and green vegies are very rich in calcium, magnesium, B vitamins, fibre and are far easier for your body to assimilate.
peace baby
