HI All,

I need some advice, I hope some of you answer this. I have gurgling in my throat, I have LPR but I am not sure that is what is causing my issues. Also if some of you could comment on what symptoms of LPR you might be having. Anyone with swallowing issues. You see that is can cause this but it never says why it happens very frustrating.

I'm not familiar with LPR. Hopefully someone will come along with some good advice. You can always read through the pinned pages at the top of the Forim, they have great info.

As I asked in another thread, have you been tested for Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)? This might be the actual cause of your swallowing issues. Over the years, I was diagnosed with GERD and LPR. Though under doctor's care and therapies, my swallowing issues would eventually crop up again. After a food impaction, a subsequent scope revealed that I had EoE. Now have my swallowing issues under control with dietary changes and a PPI.

Thank you Guitar how do they test for it? I did have a blood test and it said I had Eosinophilic Predominance what ever that means. It the EOE test by scope oh yes I see. I will bring it up

Hello again. The only way to test for EoE is through biopsies taken during an endoscopy. Fifteen or more eosinophils per high powered field in a biopsy defines it as EoE. Here's a link to an article which should give you an overview of the disease.

I suffered from that weird gurgling in the throat; with me, it was food that remained in my esophagus without being pushed into my stomach because I have (had) achalasia. No doctor understood what I was talking about. But after my heller myotopy surgery to fix my stomach valve, the gurgling stopped. In my case, I am sure it was the food not moving into my stomach.
