Let’s Talk Morning Routines! These are my top 3 products I use every morning. I thought I’d made a quick video to show you how and why they are my favorites! www.refluxraft.com/?utm_source=lindaesposito&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=affiliate
💡 A Simple Tool to Help Manage Reflux and Protect Your Lungs Did you know that reflux and aspiration can contribute to worsening lung conditions like bronchiectasis? That’s why managing reflux is such an important part of my daily routine. One product I’ve added to my Reflux Tool Kit is RefluxRaft. It forms a protective raft-like barrier on top of stomach contents, helping to reduce acid reflux—especially after meals and while lying down. I personally use RefluxRaft after breakfast and before bed to help minimize the chance of aspiration into the lungs, which is a known risk factor for lung inflammation and damage in people with bronchiectasis. ✨ It’s become an essential part of my Reflux Tool Kit! Click here to learn more about RefluxRaft and how alginate therapy works to reduce reflux and support both digestive and respiratory health. ‼️ Important Note: As always, please consult your healthcare provider before making changes to your current care routine. BE CLEAR with Bronchiectasis, LLC is proud to collaborate with RefluxRaft.

 Blocks under the head of my bed aren’t exactly a design statement I’d choose.But their function far outweighs their aesthetics—they help reduce the chance of stomach contents refluxing into my lungs, triggering inflammation and worsening my bronchiectasis.
Seven years ago, I underwent 24-hour impedance monitoring to assess gastric reflux. The results? “Normal” (32 events, but still within normal range‼️). Oddly, I had no reflux while sleeping! I welcomed this as good news back then, but that was a while ago. Now, at 69, my situation may have changed. That’s why I take every precaution. I avoid airway clearance or intense exercise right after meals and stop eating and drinking after dinner. While my husband enjoys a late-night treat—like apple crisp with vanilla ice cream—I stay firm and look the other way. Because when it comes to reducing lung inflammation and healing, I’m determined to do everything within my power. |
