@haleynicole1223, you maybe indeed be more susceptible to certain foods when it comes to heartburn. I know my family (parents mostly) suffer from heartburn after eating certain foods so they try and avoid those foods as much as possible. I like @sueinmn’s advice to limit liquids before and after meals. But it helps to identify what foods might directly cause heartburn and avoid those foods wherever possible

What kind of food intolerance test?

@haleynicole1223- You certainly are having a difficult time. I have had dyspnea for a long time and am taking Omeprazole. My GI doctor suggested that when I have "breakthroughs" to take FD Guard. It's for recurring indigestion. It is caraway oil and l-menthol. It works for me. It is pricey but well worth it for me.

Another thing that I noticed is that you lift heavyweights. This can actually be a problem as the higher weight that you lift the more pressure you put on your body, asking it to perform, perhaps too much. Have you tried lifting less weight? Maybe going back to the weight that you were using prior to your dyspnea? Have you considered using less weight and increase the number of reps you do?

When you reduced the types of food that you stopped eating did you do it one food at a time? I'm worried that you might not be getting enough protein. Do you take any supplemental protein?

I’ve wondered the same. Every day after my coffee and lactose free milk I would cough on
and off throughout the morning. I purchased Propolis Raw Honey Throat Spray, began using it and had immediate relief from the cough and reduced reflux.
