It depends on how severe your symptoms are. For some it takes much longer to get the symptoms under control. It also depends on why you have the reflux. The diet does work but you must be consistent....
I have lpr reflux and I feel it is just now getting under control. I no longer have severe throat/sinus problems but some lingering issues that I hope resolve soon with diet. I am scheduled for a...

Pat, Is your friend or relative the one who had the Linx for their reflux problem ? If so, did they have gerd or LPR related acid? Did they have an experienced surgeon perform the procedure? Do they...

In defense of Dr. Koufman, she does not advocate long term use of ppi's. Most of her patients come to her already on a ppi and she works to get them off as quickly as possible. I know because I have...

Floating spirit Perhaps you need to be more specific as to your problem/symptoms. Is it a swallowing problem, inflamed throat, acid reflux? You will probably get the same info from all the gi docs....
I live in OK. Dr Koufman has a practice in NYC. I wasn't sure what you were asking. Anyway I am sorry for anyone suffering with LPR. Some days my symptoms are so improved I get so hopeful but then...
I certainly agree with you that it changes your social life. I do almost all meals at home where I can control the cooking. When I do go out I get very nervous about the restaurant chosen and kind of...
Wenmar You are probably correct that the sour taste is from LPR. It is a hideous condition. I have been battling it for 9months. It has improved with the help of meds and the koufman low acid diet...
I am trying to contact a user who possibly posts or posted on this site. She goes by somedaysarediamonds. She originally posted on the gerd site and had a nissen fundo surgery. She used a surgeon in...

I have struggled with lpr for about 8 months. Initially I had painful and inflamed throat with the globus feeling. Those have subsided after being on a ppi but I still have some throat mucous. The...
From reading your symptoms it sounds like a condition called LPR. This is when acid from the stomach comes up and irritates your throat area. You will create a lot of throat mucous in order to...
Do any of you have lots of throat mucus? That is my main problem right now. I suffer from lpr. I would love to think I had low stomach acid causing these miseries but probably not. What is the test...
