Oh I. have slipped many a time on my low acid diet! It is hard to maintain 100 percent discipline whether diet or Tums. There is a science behind "slipshod willpower" so don't beat yourself up over it. Recognize what you did wrong and start over again. For convenience sake I have been eating processed food lately, like hummus, and most of this stuff has acid in it as a preservative, which does a number on my LPR symptoms. I need to empty the fridge and cupboards of these foods and start again. Meanwhile, I use Gaviscon Advance, the UK version, more than antacid tablets. It's more expensive but it coats my throat/esophagus and plugs up the stomach to keep the acid in its place. I am using it less and less, which is progress. Feel free to update on this thread whether you need a boost or want to share good news. Best wishes for the New Year!

Thanks for getting back to me! The holidays have definitely made it more difficult to ditch the antacids. It’s an everyday struggle that I’m trying to overcome. Any updates from you would never bore me! If anything they would be appreciated. Hope we can keep in contact. Via this forum or possibly email. Let me know what works best for you. 🙂

Happy New Year Ray!!
