Sour sour taste in my mouth

Wenmar
You are probably correct that the sour taste is from LPR. It is a hideous condition. I have been battling it for 9months. It has improved with the help of meds and the koufman low acid diet but it continues to be ongoing. If you have not seen an ENT doctor or gastro doctor you probably need to get do that to get a definite diagnosis. Do you have other symptoms like sore throat, globus, sinus, ears? The sour taste in my mouth has been the worst of all the symptoms. It never totally goes away. I do believe diet is so important so it is good you are doing the diet. Good luck. So sorry anyone has to put up with this condition.

I certainly agree with you that it changes your social life. I do almost all meals at home where I can control the cooking. When I do go out I get very nervous about the restaurant chosen and kind of food served. The other thing is no one wants to hear your acid reflux problem and I understand. It's a pretty lonely condition to have to deal with and consumes so much of my mental energy. I am actually considering making an appt with Dr. koufman. I live in the Midwest so it would mean quite a commitment in travel and expense but I just really want to rid myself of this stuff. The mucous drives me nuts.

I live in OK. Dr Koufman has a practice in NYC. I wasn't sure what you were asking. Anyway I am sorry for anyone suffering with LPR. Some days my symptoms are so improved I get so hopeful but then for no known reason it will flair up and I will get so discouraged. I pray that you will see some better days. Are you on any meds? I don't even know if they help. I've been on a ppi for 9 months but have reduced my dosage and plan to reduce more gradually. I do think diet is the key but it is hard to do all the time. Who wants to be a hermit? I have already made excuses for turning down dinner with friends because it was just too stressful. Good luck with this ongoing dilemma. Please let me know what your 24 hr test shows.
