    Hi Sarah,

    First of all, I'm sorry to hear you're having troubles.

    Caring for a child is tough, and caring for a disabled child is unimaginably difficult.

    You're link in the throat could be related to stress as well. It's easier said than done, but try to manage your stress. When I was first diagnosed with LPR, silent reflux, I too was given a sheet and meds, and sent in way. I asked the doctor about reducing stress to help with the reflux, and he said everyone had stress, so just take the meds. He couldn't have been more wrong about the advice he gave. After changing my diet, and reducing my stress, it worked far better than any drugs.

    The tough part with changing a diet, is that it can be very stressful. Instead, you need to view this as making a healthy lifestyle change. I removed most carbs (gluten and sugar), soda, coffee, etc. Instead I eat lean proteins, probiotic rich food, veggies, etc. I believe stress and the Western diet is responsible for most acid reflux....

    As for stress, find a hobby, read, travel, meditate, go for walks (especially after meals), etc. Do these things with friends, to help get your mind off the reflux and other stresses. Talk about a book you may have read, family events, etc. Keep your conversations positive.

    Good luck!
