How do I cure chronic acid reflux?

Question

For years I have had acid reflux. Then began get anxiety causing me to lose weight and unable eat choke on solid foods. In beginning of year I dropped more weight been very underweight. Since July-august I began get this weird issue where saliva drool comes out of my mouth & I need spit it out but gets worse at night. Some doctors said it’s due to me being underweight & as I need eat more my stomach is empty malnourished. Most doctors don’t know what Salvia is. So I have appointment Next week with a head & neck specialist. the saliva drool got worse that now it got thicker & at night I’m not able swallow it. Then I take tiny sips of water or iced tea & I feel it not pass down my throat as the Salvia feels like a pool in throat blocking then I turn red suffocate. I sleep with 5 pillows almost sitting & on my side as I spend an entire room of napkins daily to drool. Since this week I’m eating more high calorie solid foods but still very underweight. Also I been drinking coke daily about 3 with meals & I now reduced to one as that is causing me more Salvia. Also I had change diet as it got chronic & I ate chili fries & this spicy Mexican food two days & it made me get chest pain & nonstop hiccups for entire day not stopping nausea & water Salvia drooling pouring out of my mouth & nose dripping like a tsunami.

In short, by increasing stomach acid levels. But this depends on whether there is any damage in the stomach, or esophagus lining. You will not find a solution from the Doctors or the head and neck specialist. Your best bet is buying the book 'Why Stomach Acid Is Good for You: Natural Relief from Heartburn, Indigestion, Reflux and GERD by Jonathan V. Wright (Author), Lenard (Author)'

After reading that you will know what you need to do.

The endoscopy does not show stomach acid levels. Oesophageal Manometry, and Ambulatory pH and Impedance testing will show those levels.

Currently the billions of dollars in revenue all come from medication that reduces stomach acid (PPI) so there is already a bias in treatment and assumptions.

The excessive drooling could be the bodies attempt at dealing with stomach acid that comes back up the esophagus due to low stomach acid levels triggering the lower esophageal sphincter to open when it should remain closed. It could have many other causes though.

No, it's not as simple as that because it depends on whether there has been damage to the stomach or any other areas. This is why you need to read the book and understand everything. Having low stomach acid, but increasing it under the wrong conditions can make things worse. But if that was addressed by the Doctors early on, then perhaps it would not be a concern.

I think it's not something you cure and rather something you treat but as close to a cure as I can think I'd

I had the same problem.
You can try putting bricks under the feet of your bed to raise your head.
I went to my gastroenterologist and ended up getting the surgery.
I have not had a problem since.
