Silent Reflux or LPR

Yes, I had silent reflux a few years ago. It was a horrible, miserable experience and it took me a long time to finally get the correct diagnosis after going to many different specialists. I had a chronic cough, very sore throat, and had nasal irritation and a continuous nasal drip. Actually, I was diagnosed with acid reflux, not silent reflux, and was told to take OTC medications and a few foods to avoid - that did not work for me at all. My gastroenterologist prescribed the drug named Dexilant. It was very expensive, totally worth it, and I only took it for about 3 months. In addition, I totally eliminated foods that could possibly contribute to the reflux. I highly recommend that you get the book by Dr. Jamie A. Koufman named The Chronic Cough Enigma: How to Recognize Neurogenic and Reflux Related Cough. She provides recommended foods to avoid and a lot of other good information. I believe that she still has a practice in New York City. I hope this info is helpful to you.

¿What do you usually eat? Did you take the medication on an empty stomach?
