Does surgery work for Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR)?

Hi, what medical examinations and tests did you do to get the diagnosis?
I have undiagnosed GERD and LPR, although I have reflux esophagitis up into the nasopharynx...
PPI don't help, nor Riopan (supposed to neutralize stomach acid and reduce gas formation). I tried Gaviscon, too, but it didn't help either.
I have constant pain in the stomac and, like you, I react to nything I swallow.
Can you tell me more about how Pepsin is the main cause of LPR?
Thanks and wishing you all the best.

If you haven’t already, please check out Dr. Jamie Koufman’s books and website. A good one to start is The Chronic Cough Enigma (even if you don’t have a cough). Great explanation of LPR and remedies. Best wishes, Cindy
