Hi Lycia,
Hope you don't mind me chiming in.
My ENT here in NY has done a study on treating LPR with a plant based, Mediteranean diet - animal products in very small portions, 2- 3 times a week, alkaline water and avoiding the usual triggers, high fat, greasy foods, citrus, chocolate, chips, pizza etc. Here is an interview with him: http://www.northwell.edu/news/mediterranean-diet-can-halt-need-for-reflux-medications
I'm trying it but having a hard time limiting animal products so much. But I do see improvement in my LPR symptoms and hoping it helps with GERD so I can get off Prilosec.

Thank you for your post. I already follow a Mediterranean diet , I exercise and I'm not overweight. I drink a lot of Alkaline water. I have not be able to identify other trigger foods.
There is a lot of conflicting information available. I have been on PPI's for a year and a half. My globus throat has not healed. Next I will try Gaviscon Advance. I will have a 2nd laryngoscopy to see if the damage has increased.
