I also agree about NO animal products! I have been vegan for 35 years, and I cannot imagine how anyone with LPR or gerd can possibly deal with animal products, they are way too acidic!...
water, just water, caffeine is a trigger for reflux as are ALL juices because they have citric acid added to them. once in blue I will have a decaff tea but decaff can have up to 7% caffeine and even...
and my breathing also feels like panic attack, yes, exactly! But I can have this feeling just sitting down and it can last all day, horrible stuff...
I have LPR and trouble breathing but not while sleeping, it is shortness of breath. I tried for 3 days now going off of zantac to see if that is the cause and I'm not sure, since going off I do not...
Ninjakiller1, I don't think he said anything about blocked nose, but speaking of that does anyone has slightly bloody noses with air pressure behind nose? I have this almost every day....
Daxter my heart goes out to you! I so wish I had the answers, I am in similar position. I have throatburn reflux, LPR and am having trouble breathing, in fact I was so scared I had them do an...
Hi Bill, Thank you for the prompt reply! I thought you were trying to say there were two diff. types of LPR. There has never been any doubt in my mind that I have LPR, I have throatburn, have had in...
No I have not had the surgery done. I hope yours will turn out to be successful!...
I once took myself off of aciphex and I got worse, then he put me on aciphex twice a day and it got better, now I take aciphex in morning and zantac at night. My gut feeling is that neither are doing...
Oh, I forgot something, I take aciphex, 20 mg in morning and zantac at night before bed, doctor wants to get me off of aciphex, he said in the fall he will get me off of it. Do they help? Initially...
That's AWFUL Bill, my heart goes out to you!! Please do try the aloe for healing, I'm not positive that it will help everyone but might be worth a try. Just make sure the aloe you get is 100% with no...
Hi Gewarn, It sounds like you have LPR (throatburn reflux) but I am no doctor, I have LPR and it sure sounds to me like that is what you have. People mistakenly think that heartburn is the only thing...
yes, AngelCat that is what mine feels like too, that I can't get a good deep full breath....
I have had shortness of breath with my LPR also, and my primary Dr told me that he has seen this a LOT in patients with acid reflux. I personally think it has to do with the positioning of the hernia...
Thank you so much for your efforts in helping others! This is very interesting, I wouldn't think we would want pepsin anywhere near our throat as it is activated by acid...but I'm willing to try...
Sorry, one last post, as I've said on other forums, this is the very best advice I can give you, please buy this book by my doctor "Killing me Softly from Inside" by Dr. Jonathan Aviv, it explains...
oh and Jason, ditch the orange juice, citrus is a killer for us with LPR, in fact look at the labels on most juices, citric acid is added to nearly every juice, ditch anything like that. If you can...
Jason, I get blood from my esophagus too, only mine comes up and out my nose, not a lot of blood but enough to scare me. I started taking aloe vera juice (100% with NOTHING added), and that seems to...
oh, and yes, the other commenters are correct, NO onions, NO garlic, NO mint, those 3 foods open up the LES. and no caffeine, tomato, coffee, chocolate, try almond milk instead of cow's milk, almonds...
Dan, a couple of things, first I know what you mean about anxiety and panic attacks, doctors like to brush this all off on that, but here's the truth ANYONE with our LPR, throatburn issue is going to...
ENT's should all be checking vocal cords, on all of us, they are a good indicator of what is going on.......
Lostsub, nobody has checked your vocal cords?? Have your vocal cords checked, if they are swollen or even partially paralyzed it could still be LPR....
oops, also what I just recently tried that helps heal throatburn is aloe vera. I lifted something heavy the other day and have had HORRIBLE burning since, the aloe vera (100% juice with NO citric...
Denise thank you for the info on the hernia surgery! I have been wondering about that, none of my doctors even address it, I have a small hernia, and they all dismiss it, I feel this is a mistake...
btw Potato, I would not eat anything like pizza with gerd. Cheese produces mucous and free radicals and tomato is a huge no-no with gerd....sorry to tell you!...
To "a great day to be a potato" In regards to your question about gas, I had and still have problems with this also, I think it has to do with our small intestines not working quite right or not...
Bill, I can't thank you enough for this great information, truly!!! I do have LPR and was also diagnosed with achalasia. I have always wondered about gas, the part it plays in my body and on LPR. I...
You are doing good with the aloe juice and papaya, no chips, ever! No deep fried foods, ever! I used to love chips, that was my binge food, and that is probably why I got acid reflux, between the...
Bananas are heavy, I have trouble swallowing them too. I've had 3 manometries showing achalasia, but it is acid reflux (throatburn) that troubles me the most. For emergencies, the two things that...
Ginger, get liquid ginger tincture at health food store and keep with you, add anywhere from 5 drops to 20 drops in warm water and drink for emergencies. This is one thing that really helps. Ginger...
Very Important that all of you read this! I found a Doctor in NYC that can help you, his name is Dr. Jonathan Aviv. If you can't get to him, do not worry, if you follow the protocol in his book you...
