If you have lots of throat symptoms this does sound like it could be LPR. For GERD and lpr diet is the most important factor fuelling your symptoms and not eating right will just keep you having horrible symptoms. Taking medication can help for some but think of it like it is just like putting a big band aid on a problem but isn't actually sorting out the cause, which if you have lpr or GERD is eating things that trigger it or not adapting your lifestyle. Everyone is different but I'd say it took me around 5 months strictly on the acid watcher diet to say I felt mostly normal everyday. That said, it is a chronic disease so it will never go away so if started eating normally again the symptoms will just come back if that makes sense. Remission is possible but there is no cure sadly. I personally found ppis offered no help so no longer take them. Many do take them alongside diet and lifestyle changes and then they stop taking and taper off. Look at the acid watcher diet warriors on Facebook for so much info.

If you change diet, lifestyle etc and really commit I promise you can really find some relief from these symptoms. I had debilitating symptoms, dysphagia chronic cough, severe shortness of breath (they told me I had COPD because it was so bad, I do not), I could barely speak my vocal cords were so effected and inflammated, constant esophageal spasms and muscle/nerve pain in my neck and the list goes on. And now I have some shortness of breath (trying to identify the trigger food), I can eat solids again, I don't struggle with my voice, I barely have a cough. It's changed my life and no doctor helped I found the diet myself because I was sick of feeling so unwell. I hope you find relief!
