Bluewatergirl, Keep in mind that LPR and GERD can overlap. I used to have "pure" LPR for the longest time (swallowing problems, lump in throat, constant coughing and throat clearing, shortness of...
Hope your endoscopy went well. I've had LPR for about 9-10 years. I used to rarely ever get the typical heartburn, but lately it's been more and more pronounced. I now sleep at an incline because...
I agree with houston girl and the others. I'm a fit 32 year old, have never been overweight and work out an average of three times a week. I have been dealing with LPR for about 9 years now. The...
How are you feeling after your Stretta MawmawLyn? Hope you are doing well!...
I get those occasionally, but I am pretty certain it's just a spasm in the esophagus as opposed to anything heart related. Had my heart checked out and came back perfectly fine and I could never feel...
Thx for the update GC!!. I am glad you are doing well. :-). Would I be right in concluding that, for now at least, the surgery has not made a "day and night" difference in your reflux, but rather...
Sorry for reviving this 1+ year old thread, but I was wondering how Rae14 is doing with his LINX LPR issues and whether they ever resolved themselves? I'm curious since I'm looking into this surgery...
Hey GC, any updates at 3-month post-op? :)...
Well, it might help you. I know that when I talk real loud or scream/yell, my vocal cords and throat sometimes get irritated, which doesn't help with the dysphagia. However, I wouldn't go as far as...
33333, I know it's only 1 month post-op, but I am curious whether your throat clearing and coughing has gotten any better or stayed the same. I'm guessing it might be too soon to tell.......
Linxcat, I hope you are doing well. Do you have any updates on how you're doing post-LINX?...
Thank you for the updates edopter and HONEYBADGER. I'll be talking to my GI about getting surgery done as well. I was first thinking about the Nissen, but I might end up going with the LINX instead....
Duncan, it's not lactose that causes reflux, but the PH level of the milk, which is the opposite of acidic. It causes your body to create even more stomach acid. I'd say away from it. To the point...
Thanks for the update 33333. I've had the same issue with the white foam during reflux episodes. I usually chew some baking soda gum and that helps. Hope you're doing well...keep us posted! :)...
That sure does sound like LPR. I have some of those symptoms, including the occasional dizziness, shortness of breath, and my sinuses swelling up when i start to eat and sometimes just randomly when...
Not sure if this applies to you or not, but when my LPR gets worse my swallowing does as well, and the shortness of breath pops up too. I know this because I usually don't have those problems in the...
Don't let it get you down. You have to learn to live with the symptoms ( for most people drinking milk is NOT a way to deal with LPR btw, since it only makes it worse) and find hope in the...
Hey GC. Hope you are doing well!...
You have the exact same symptoms as I do, pure LPR. Hope you are doing well. Don't forget to keep us posted, I'm interested in how your swallowing is doing. :)...
I don't know if you're taking any anti-acid meds (PPIs) or not, but if you do, and those end up helping with your heartburn, then that might be the cause of your food sticking. You might want to try...
Thanks for the update GC. It's much appreciated. I'm really curious as to how effective the surgery will be in containing the LPR symptoms in the long-term (i think it might be very effective). Next...
Hey GC, I hope you're doing well. Do you have any updates on your symptoms? I also wonder about what the Dr told you how long it takes to see optimal results? I'm an LPR sufferer myself and in the...
Thank you for the pointers Denise, they're much appreciated. I figured I'd try and get recommendations from people on here who've gone through the process themselves, kinda like you. PS: I am glad to...
Hi guys, 8-year GERD/LPR sufferer here. After 7 years of PPIs, with periods of ups and downs, I have decided to consider surgery. I know there are many reflux surgeries out there right now, but I'm...
Well, it seems like it really is acid reflux. I tried eating a bit more yesterday (a yoghurt and a cup of soup) and had reflux that night. I didn't feel much except for a short couple stings in my...
Hey everyone, my name is Goran, and I just had my lingual tonsil removed. It flared up and wouldn't go down no matter how much antibiotics i took. (i had the others taken out when I was 8, and always...
