What Causes Spitting Frothy Sputum While On Carafate While Having GERD?

I have GERD and have times when I spit up copious amounts of frothy sputum. 1. what do you call that spitting up of so much frothy sputum ( about 1 full cup/hr) that can last for 2 days?. Regurgitation does not describe it well. I think its after I drink coffee etc.. I have had GERD for years. I have been on Carafate but it did not stop the episode of this spitting up sooo much clear sputum.
