I never had one until about 3 months ago. They had me lie down on my left side. That was the last thing I remembered. I woke up with no pain at all and no sense of how long I was out. I was not tired...
For another perspective, I've had LPR / Silent Reflux for almost 5 years, not diagnosed until 6 months ago. After a lot of initial research, the one thing I did not want to do was go on PPI for the...
@ Shelby2002, Regarding the Gaviscon Advance, I have LPR and am trying to cure it with a strict low-acid diet. However, while researching treatments, I found out about Gaviscon Advance. It looked...
Hello Shazba, I haven't had that operation, so only know a little about it at this time. Have you discussed the problems with your physician? I would think that should be the first step. Also, I'm...
Here is some good info on the TIF procedure. There are 2 videos included in it. Be sure to watch the second one, as it shows a diagram of what the repair to the LES valve looks like. It appears to be...

There is currently a promising drug, in clinical trial phase, that is intended to treat LPR. Jamie Koufman, the LPR expert that actually coined the name "Laryngopharyngeal Reflux" for LPR, and author...
I've had LPR (with no heartburn) for about 4 years now. Even though I went to two ENT's during that period, I never knew what it was until about a month ago. The main symptom was an annoying...
This is a late reply. I just joined. I had a problem with a constant salty/sour taste (but not bitter taste). It turned out to be LPR, similar to GERD except that the acid goes all the way up into...
This is long, but it shows what some of us have to go through to get a proper diagnosis of LPR. I'm putting it up on the website so maybe it might help someone else. About 4 years ago, I started to...
