I too have been diagnosed with LPR. I agree that the book Dropping Acid is very good and it also explains why we have this problem. I have tried following the diet and didn't find it helped very much but it is hard to keep it up for long. I don't eat fried foods and I never drink sodas but I do like a glass of wine with dinner. I notice that ice cream aggravates me a lot and also cookies and of course chocolate but generally I find that eating anything makes me worse. I have tried Pantoprazole for a year but it didn't help and I also have some Gaviscon Advance which is difficult to find in the USA but I found it on Amazon. There is a Dr Peter Dettman who is an expert on Pepsin which is the main cause of LPR. Also Dr Christopher Chang who is an ENT specialist that does work in this field.
I would be very interested if you or anyone else has found some homeopathic treatments.

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.

Hi,
I too have been diagnosed with LPR. I want you to try this as it has really helped me. Purchase a bottle of Apple cider vinegar (very cheap) and mix one tablespoon with a 8 oz warm glass of water…..add a bit of honey (to get rid of the taste). Use a straw to drink it, as the acid is hard on your teeth. This simple and cheap method has helped men IMMENSELY and I hope it will you to. If you indeed have LPR, (hard to diagnose) will notice a huge improvement the same day!!! Not kidding!
Please let me know how this works for you. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose and so much to gain…I know!
