Acid reflux and phlegmy after meals

Hello everyone! (Hi Kitt!) - I never post on here but I have a question that I was wondering if you fine folks can answer for me. I have Acid Reflux and right now I am taking generic Prilosec (sorry, I don't know how to spell it the generic form). The Prilosec does an awesome job of controlling it. I only take one pill in the mornings and once in a blue moon, take another at night (per my GI's consent). But lately it seems that after I eat, I get really phlegmy and cough a lot - feels like there is a lump in the back of my throat. I am pretty sure this has to do with my acid reflux and not allergies because it corresponds ONLY after I eat. I really don't want to keep taking another Prilosec in the evenings, but is there anything else I can do to help ease the thick phlegm, lump like feeling?

Hmm not a bad idea! Thanks for the thought :)

I usually take it about an hour before I eat in the morning. I get the acid reflux feeling mostly in the mornings. But this lump like feeling is fairly new. I was planning on asking my GI about it when I see him next month.
