Yea, I am not a doctor (aspiring one though...;)..), so I won't attempt to diagnose you or say you do or do not have something. I will say though that I have read of several stories of LPR that have...
Its been 2 months and I am still on it. Apparently throat nerves take a while to heal, and they are very sensitive. The thing is, my throat is still hyper-sensitized to an extent, so I can't go...
I had a post a couple months ago on here just click on my name if you want to find it and read it. Anyways, alcohol is a carcinogen to your throat. It also acts as an anesthetic to your throat and...
Neptunian, you most likely don't have acid reflux. You have been through every single PPI and your LES function is normal. Does your throat feel better when you eat? If so, that is a indicator of a...
And let me just reiterate: If you experience frequent heartburn then this is probably completely irrelevant to you because that is evidence that you actually have high abnormal amounts of reflux. But...

Chaoticme - If you actually have high levels of abnormal GERD, then yes Elavil might exacerbate your symptoms. But in SOME people who have been diagnosed with "LPR", they are hypersensitive to normal...
I was about to go through the tests but he wanted me to try the medication first since the Doctor had said he had seen success in a good amount of patients. I have never in my life had any health...
NOTE: If you experience frequent heartburn then the following post will most likely be irrelevant to you. Hey there guys... For those of you who aren't familiar with me, I have had LPR for 3 years...
I am taking protonix 40 mg. I am trying to avoid upping my dosage so I am just supplementing it with maalox, but only when I NEED it and in small amounts. Taking too much of Maalox long-term can...
I have been using Maalox maximum-Strength with simethicone (gas-x in liquid form) for this month and I really have found it to help amazingly with settling my stomach. I randomly thought up the idea...
If anyone was experiencing 100% relief they wouldn't be on this board (except for a couple of people I have seen). Try the lifestyle changes, the meds etc for a year or so and if they still aren't...
I was wondering how I would go about getting it done. Since insurance doesn't cover it, do I still need the tests done? Or can I just have an endoscopy done by someone else and bring him the papers??...
Running personally makes my LPR throat feel great. Everyone is different though...
before I switched to a PPI that worked for me, my burps were very "wet". It seemed like I was burping up .5 of an ounce of stomach contents every time I burped after a meal, so in that case those...
yea holidays do suck, but I have learned how to manage my reflux by only choosing fruit and 1 hamburger or 1 serving of the main course. I am just done with my esophagitis so I am very disciplined...
I came across several articles indicating that poor posture can lead to nerve compression in the spine, which can interfere with muscle-bound nerve signals such as those heading towards the LES. This...
Jeronimo - I found it on a forum while searching for the effects of milk and acid reflux. http://www.cookingjunkies.com/health-nutrition/digestion-times-various-foods-190.html It is obviously not off...
I found this somewhere on the web and I thought it was very interesting and worth a share. I have noticed lately that milk and cereal give me horrible belching and some reflux for several hours and...
Have there been any studies done to see if Alcohol lowers the Lower Esophageal Sphincter pressure LONG Term or for a while after you consume it. Or does it just lower the pressure while your body is...
It is not that it is annoying. It is because it makes me swallow so much that I take in an abnormal amount of air. So after I eat, I don't even have reflux but I habitually start swallowing so much...
I have seen online how your body drastically increases your saliva production and swallowing frequency to combat the acid in your esophagus. Well, now I have changed medicines to Protonix and I no...
Thanks for the responses. Alcie, I saw a GI doctor to get an endoscopy a while back. The GI was a huge prick and tried to tell me I didn't have acid problems because my esophagus was fine (I have...
Katgriff, please keep us updated every once in a while. I have LPR and might be getting the surgery in the next 6 months. Thanks....
Yes, PPI's have worked quite well in spurts. But I am only 19, so I am not trying to take them for the rest of my life when God knows what happens when you take them for 10+ years. I am on my fourth...
Why aren't you a nissen candidate? Just curious as I may go down that path in the next few months and I have LPR as well....
Hi there, this is my first post on the forum. I am a 19 year old male that has had LPR (chronic throat-burn, horrible post-nasal drip, lump etc..) for 3 years now. I have gone through 3 or 4...
