Laryngeal spasms

Hi,
I’ve had laryngeal issues from reflux for about a year now. It’s very painful and I can’t find anything to help. I’m on 40 mg of nexium and liquid sulcrafate. I also take gaviavon advance from the UK. Sometimes that helps for about 20 minutes. I also went on an alkaline diet. Nothing has helped. I gave up coffee for 5 months which has been torturous for me. I’ve since added other foods back in my diet and I am allowing myself 1 cup of coffee in the morning with the same results. I don’t know if my symptoms are good triggered or not. I don’t know what to do. I’m open to any suggestions if anyone has any! Ive been to 8 different gastroenterologists and can’t get any results with my issues. My symptoms are constant acid taste in my mouth, burning in my chest, ears, and throat, and what feels like an elephant sitting on my chest. A lot of dr’s do not believe in LPR including the one I had a telehealth appointment at Mayo. If anyone has similar symptoms please let me know. My father is dying from esophageal cancer from acid reflux and I’m afraid I’m going to end up with the same condition.

I have zero acid reflux, but reflux may leave you at risk for Esophageal cancers, much worse than losing your voice. Please take care and keep in touch with good Gastroenterologists.
