@sue312 I also have this and was surprised to find out. I had an endoscopy in May where a small hiatal hernia was found along with mild esophagitis. I had no symptoms of reflux or chest pain at all. At that time, I had mild discomfort in my mouth and had no idea why. I had also taken a bite of a sandwich and found it difficult to swallow but that has only happened a couple of times. Since then, I have experienced a burning throat and mouth, voice changes and a dry cough. I was first prescribed a PPI. My doctor even gave me samples of the very expensive Voquezna. I had the worst stomach pain and diarrhea from this medication. It was absolutely no different than the pantoprazole or omeprazole I had tried before. I absolutely cannot do PPI's! I am only able to take famotadine. I take 40 mg in the morning and 40 mg in the evening. It eases the sore throat and I haven't had any swallowing issues. The cough has almost completely gone, but I have ridiculous discomfort in my mouth from the acid. The doctor said it will take longer for the esophagitis to cure with just an H2 blocker, but the PPI's are an absolute no for me. Have you had an endoscopy to see if the cause of your problem can be determined? My Gastro told me the esophagitis will heal with time. The hiatal hernia will be something I have to manage but it is very small. I take Mylanta liquid, Gas-X when the bubbling starts in my stomach, and Mylanta One tablets. I don't know if your stomach is bothering you from the different medications or not but these things are necessary for me because the intense H2 blockers give me stomach troubles. I feel pretty sure if I was able to take a PPI, that would do the trick much faster. As it is, the famotadine has me in the bathroom more often than I'd like. Don't despair! Once you find out what's causing this issue, chances are there's a medication you can take to heal whatever is causing it. I'm pretty sure it won't heal on its own though. I eat very small meals and pretty bland food… Eggs and toast, turkey sandwiches, oatmeal, you get the idea. I would start by finding out what's causing the LPR. If you didn't have an endoscopy, it's a pretty easy procedure. If your gastroenterologist isn't giving you helpful answers, find another one. It took three before I found a good one.Good luck! I hope you find relief soon!
