I'm pretty sure I'm type A but not positive. It's on my list of things to find out......
No. I tried 4 different PPIs and had side effects from all of them. I'm taking magnesium, vit D3, enzymes with all meals and evening primrose oil....
Thank you for posting the thread about Apple Cider Vinegar Denise. I also had a reaction to apple cider vinegar. It made my throat very sore. It also turned my saliva to a white foam. Very strange....
Hello Gianna 14, I'm very sorry to read about your suffering. I want to let you know about a group on facebook called Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Support. Here's the link:...
Hello Daxter, Like you, I have LPR (diagnosed by Restech test and the usual other tests). At my worst, I had many of the same symptoms as you mention above, although not all of them. I tried to find...
Hi Peachy11, I have been diagnosed with GERD and LPR by an Ear Nose and Throat doctor after many tests. Like you I have suffered from the lump in my throat, sore throat, sinus issues, and lung...
Hello arielortega, There is a very good book out there written by Dr. Jamie Koufman called Dropping Acid, The Reflux Diet Cookbook and Cure. Her book explains so many things about LPR. I think you...
Hi tnfilmgal, Yes, I also have both GERD and LPR. Diagnosed by my ENT after a 24-hour acid test (Restech test). My symptoms are very similar to yours. My doctor told me the same thing yours told you....
Lobstahguy - I've had many of the health issues you mention. I've been diagnosed with GERD/LPR by an ENT after many tests. The first issue I had was asthma and that was 3 years ago. I went to a...
tomhalil, Thank you for the info about the Facebook group. I also just bought the Fast Tract book. I read most of it yesterday. It makes sense to me and I plan on trying the diet after Thanksgiving....
Lobstahguy, Wow. We really have traveled the same road. Did you try giving up meat to see if it would help? My stomach has never hurt. My esophagus gets a little sore sometimes but I haven't...
lobstahguy, the mucus is the hardest for me too. It's ever present. Sometimes it's very thick and the only way to handle it is to get rid of it by spitting it out. One doctor wanted to see it so I...
My problems started almost 3 years ago with asthma. I had childhood asthma but no symptoms of asthma as an adult until the end of 2010. An incident with boric acid at work resulted in the asthma...
Will do lobstahguy. Check out the comments at Amazon.com for this book. They are pretty encouraging. I'm half-way through the book at this point (I started it this morning). Sure hope it works. For...

What's the SCD diet? Did you ever try the Fast Track diet? Your post is very interesting and gives hope. I believe diet is the answer. PPIs do nothing for me. Drinking less water is interesting too....
I'm fairly new to this forum but I wanted to give my experience with omeprazole. I was taking 40 mg morning and 40 mg night (30 minutes before breakfast; 30 minutes before dinner). My symptoms got...
icesk8r, The doctor's office called me back and they want me to try aciphex. If that doesn't work, my family doctor wants to refer me to a surgeon. I see my ENT on December 4. I am so conflicted...
I'm a New Member too. My journey began with wheezing and coughing spells and many sleepless nights of worry. I went to a pulmonary doctor who put me on inhalers. I couldn't tolerate the inhalers....
I too just took myself off of omeprazole because of side effects. I was taking 40 mg before breakfast and 40 mg before dinner. All of my GERD and LPR symptoms got worse while on this medication. I...
