PPIs caused me to have IBS. Once off, it went away. Not sure if you are taking them, but that might be the cause....
I would say bedtime snacks. But honestly, none of those really do anything for me....
Well, im not sure what to tell you on the diet side. Nothing really works that great for me, so i just eat whatever I want. For me its more about having agents that relieve LPR near by. I always...
You guys will find something that helps relieve your symptoms. Ive dealt with if for two years, and after a while you just get used to it. Look on this board, there is a lot of good info. I like...
Scientist dont know if it causes cancer or not. Your throat has a lot of nerves, so a little bit of acid hurts a lot. So in theory it could be something that isnt really doing any serious damage, but...
sounds like you have acid reflux. Nothing you mentioned sounds like oral cancer. Unfortunately reflux that gets in your throat is very difficult to treat. I have the same issue....
I had the same thing while on Dexilant (basically the same as prevacid). I dont know if its related, but I ended up getting pretty nasty IBS for a while after. When I stopped taking the Dexilant and...
Does anyone else with LPR get these? My dentist said he saw one today at my cleaning. Never had that before?...
It is HIGHLY unlikely that you have cancer. I wouldnt worry about it. Just try and get the reflux under control....
have you been tested for autoimmune diseases other than celiac?...
I took an SSRI, dont remember the name. Dont remember the dose, but it was considered a "low dose." Really the only LPR symptom I get is a sore throat, and thats what was made wose. Keep in mind,...
I took them for IBS for about a month, but stopped bc it made my LPR worse....
Rose, My main symptom is sore/tight throat. I dont really get many of the other symptoms of LPR. It started off only affecting me during the day, but now my symptoms are primarily at night. I also...
I am so sorry to hear this. I will keep you in my prayers. Is there a blood test for the HPV you are talking about? I'm assuming you have HPV?...
Interesting that the Ranitidine helps the IBS. I have always heard these medicines cause it. I know when I got off my PPI, my IBS improved a lot. Glad to hear you are doing well!...
I had stomach issues, and really bad anxiety on Dexilant. Havent taken it in a while though....
Its unlikely that they will actually see reflux. They will look for signs that reflux is present though, such as inflamation in the esophagus....
I sometimes take them. Not sure how much it helps, but it def doesn't hurt....
There is only one reason Peptigon is not offered. It does not work. If it did, Dr. Koufman would be cashing in on it, like she does with the rest of her LPR treatments....
Sipping on pepto helps me....
I had yellow stools while on Dexilant, which is basically the same thing as prevacid. I ended up developing IBS. The yellow stools went away when I stopped taking the Dexilant, and the IBS got...
I believe that there is an association with the two....
I had yellow stools while on Dexilant. Now I have IBS. Pretty sure it was caused by the PPI. When i stopped taking Dexilant, the yellow stools went away and the IBS symptoms calmed down (but like i...
I am confused about your post. Are you saying that you have Crohn's? Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis are autoimmune diseases that are typically associated with severe diahrea. Often accompanied with...
I havent experienced any tooth decay. But then again, i havent been to the dentist since being diagnosed last year. I have a sore throat every day. dont get the bitter taste though....
It is probably acid. I have heard this can happen. I have them too....
I wonder if Baclofen would help. I take it at night for my LPR, and it seems to help a little. Its some sort of nerve relaxer or something....
I get sore throats, and it usually does not coincide with eating....
Paul, Many on here report anxiety as a side affect of PPI use. Also, it sounds like you have atypical reflux (sore throat and asthma), which are pretty difficult to treat. I have atypical reflux too,...
New_2012: If the yellow stool started after taking the prevacid or drinking maalox, I wouldnt worry about it. Prevacid and Dexilant are basically the same, and like I said above the Dexilant is what...
Have not had the Nissen. Its not something that im really interested in. I may one day go for the LINX, but the idea of wrapping my stomach around my esophagus doesnt sit well with me. Have you tried...
I had the same thing. I have LPR and IBS. They were the result of the Dexilant (PPI) that i was taking. Also, sodium bicarbonate (tums) can cause yellow stools. Then of course there is the more...
Joe, how long have you had bloody bowel movements? Have you been tested for crohn's or other autoimmune diseases? If not, i strongly advise it, bc bloody bowel movements is not a symptom of LPR, but...
I would say that if you had an abdominal CT scan and blood work, and it didnt show anything, its unlikely that you have cancer. Probably just IBS. Colonoscopy should give you some peace of mind....
From what I have heard, you can still belch. Id call my insurance. Doubt they cover it yet though....
so what was the treatment for what you have?...
I think for the most part, you can expect to have to make some life style changes. Either that, or just deal with the burn. That being said, I t hink there is hope on the horizon. Contrary to what...
Unfortunately, LPR is a poorly understood disease. The recomended treatment is twice dialy PPIs, but even that often yields disapointing results. I took Dexilant for about 7 months, and at about 6...
I just googled it, and it seems that most people get heartburn when they take prednisone, not the other way around. So im not really sure whats going on there....
Your situation sounds strange. The fact that it would go away and come back like that. Hell, if a 5 day course of steroids would get rid of my LPR for 6 years, id be all over it. I recently read an...
I have always wondered if there is some sort of autoimmune influence associated with my LPR. I get IBS too, and its pretty unpleasant. Also have gastritis, although that rarely bothers me. I went to...
I remember reading in the past that some studies have shown they can damage your gall bladder, which is related to your liver. All I know, is that when I took PPIs, my stool turned banana yeloow,...
Interesting... I recently read that the pain associated with GERD is a result of the inflamation caused by inflamitory cells in response to reflux (which is why i think pepto works so good, as its an...
Dexilant 60mg seemed to help me after about 6 months, but then i developed IBS that was made worse (or caused) by it. Not taking anything now....
I know another poster named Slicer complained of some throat pain after his procedure. Not sure if he was refering to the same thing. That being said, his resolved in a few days, and he is doing very...
Pretty difficult to say with what you have described. They will probably want to scope you to find out, and that is not cheap if you dont have insurance. Its probably just reflux, but could be a...
Good luck! I know us LPR folks will be interested in the result!...
I wonder if u could call your insurance, explain your situation, and see if they will pay for it. On a side note, it looks like the euro is in trouble, so maybe the procedure will get cheaper. Seems...
I know that Slicer had LPR symptoms that were cured by the LINX. Also, from what I have read on this board, LINX could be approved in January 2012. So you may not have to wait long....
I really think that we have some sort of infection, like a mycobacterium that is causing the LPR. Why do so many of us have gastiris? Why so many with IBS? Why do we commonly have normal LES pressure...
