LPR and mouth pain? Anyone help?

Hi --stella19032

it certainly sounds like a side effect of LPR - it's on the soft palate - I have this unfortunaley quite regularly and it's painful, the only thing I find helps is gently chewing gum for a few minutes which helps keep the saliva coming and keeps your palate moist.

you may also find alkaline water helps it's has a high PH 8.2 which helps fight the acid and helps with your sore mouth and maybe sore throat which sometimes comes  with it  try not to worry it's very uncomfortable at times very painful , I find salt aggravates it.

hope this little bit of info helps, water is available inmost Tesco stores and in some £ shops but only in England  also look at the Ebook - water for health a lot of helpful info on there, I also follow an alkaline diet which is great to fight the LPR 

 All the best Wilfie 

 

When my mouth and gums are sore i get Difflam rinse off my doctor it is really good .

Hi, what could be worth a try is coconut oil. Coconut oil has anti inflammatory, anti bacterial and anti fungal qualities. I recommended it to another lady who had burning mouth and she said it worked within 24hrs. My son used it to treat a tooth abscess. You can buy it from the health store. It is set at room temp. Place a teaspoon of it in the mouth. It desolves almost immediately. Swish it round the mouth for a few minutes and spit it out. Use 3 x day. Coconut oil can be stored at room temp. It is a saturated fat but the good type. It has lots of amazing qualities check it out.

Well I've been to the doctors this morning and he says it's impossible for this to be caused by reflux, as I'm on Max dose ppis. Now I'm getting really worried. Luckily my dentist says he will see me this pm, so fingers crossed 

Stella, when I was diagnosed as having hiatus hernia they put me on 150mg Zantac twice a day. I had told them that ppi's didn't work for me but Zantac helped for the odd episode. This was to treat inflammation in my osophagus because I was told it will not cure itself. At this time I had no symptoms from my osophagus. After one week on the Zantac I started gushing acid into my throat. (Think this is what they call rebound). Stopped them immediately and went back on my digestive enzymes. I have just started sleeping with the bed head raised and the acid taste in my mouth has disappeared. I found out that a bloated stomach caused by incorrectly digested food or constipation can force bile back into the stomach where it reacts to create gas and pain. (First sign I get is a strange ill feeling that makes me feel terrible.) when this happens I take a Zantac to suppress the stomach acid that's reacting with the bile and eat a couple of dry cream crackers. Within 10 min I'm ok. I'm convinced that constipation plays a big part. (I use water that has been sterilised by boiling for 15min and allowed to cool. This is used in a home enema kit. It gives instant results without using any drugs. If I follow this I eat little and often don't wear tight clothing and avoid fats and nightshade foods I'm ok.
