Before the coughing begins, I get a tickling in my throat. I am on omeprazole (prilosec) 2 capsules 2xday. The medication does not help. Does anyone suffer from these symptoms or have a solution for me? Thank you

Yes I get those same symptoms. It is when I eat wheat. It goes if I stick to a wheat free diet.

Yes I have acid reflux and I also suffer from these symptoms. Try drinkin lots of water or maybe a glass of milk. Its not guaranteed to work each time you do this but it helps...at least for me but you can try it and see if it helps.

I suffer from acid reflux diagnosed with GERD. I have the exact symptoms and is on omeprazole twice a day also. The medicine is not helping me either but I try to keep water or a clear soda near at all time. I know the soda may not be good becauce of the acid but I only sip it when the scratching/tickling starts, it is a temporary fix. Sometimes I use the herbal honey/lemon cough drop and it seems to help.
