LPR??
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi,
I'm desperate. I was diagnosed with gastritis, reflux, and small ulcers. The ulcers were healed last year. For the past 2 years I constantly have phlem and white acidy stuff in my throat that I have to spit up. I am always burping, clearing my throat, and at times I am throwing up the acid and food that isn't digested from my throat. I am getting married in 8 months and don't see any hope to make this better. I am currently taking nexium in the morning and zantac at night.
Please any information or ideas would be appreciated.

I am just looking ing buying a wedge pillow, meant to help stop the reflux from coking up the osphecus. Watch what you eat, avoid spicy and acid foods, nowadays Fri king mostly water with Odd cup of tea. No fizzy drinks. I use the fodmap diet. Worth looking up. Was told to look up Dropping acid by Kauffman. Phelm is something which has started about three weeks ago. Will be checking it out with GP once have got ridden of this awful cold.

About quitting the diet, you may want to be extremely careful. I've been off the diet for about 3-4 weeks now and everything's been normal until today when I woke up not being able to swallow at all because of pain. Later I realised that it was probably because I ate dark chocolate ice cream the night before, so make sure that you don't eat anything too acidic before bed and if you do take antacids!!
Anyway, apart from that I've had LPR for about 9 months and unfortunately my parents seem to have given up on treatment and claimed it's stress-related when it's totally not (I'm 14) so I've had to just deal with this problem for the past few months because no medication is working

In my own personal opinion, each case can be different. Eradicate all processed food, (tinned, microwaved, anything with preservatives in) instantly. Remove all caffeine from your diet, pop, chocolate etc. Caffeine relaxes your stomach sphincter muscles. Remove all processed sugars. The only sugars you should be getting are naturally from fruits, or the sugars that are converted from carbs. Only Eat vegetables, preferrably steamed. Any meat you eat, make sure it's well cooked and is organic. I would elimimate grains too as they are fairly difficult to digest while on acid reducers. These are only temporal until you get better. Because you are reducing acid, try purchasing some digestive enzymes to help break down your food. Also take apple cider vinegar, preferrably Braggs.
Like i said, each case is different, what works for some, may not work for you. You need to experiment with foods and see what works for you. It may take a while. Good luck.
