Oral lichen Planus: What home remedies or medications help you?

I am 65yrs old. I too have Oral and Vag LP. This past year I was having challenges with what appeared to be a dry esophagus. Thus often had to drink water after I ate something. I had and endo preformed & I do not have LP in my Esophagus, but I have acid reflux. I thought it odd since I never have any acid reflux that comes up into my mouth. The GI Doc explained that everyone has some degree of acid reflux and mine has not gotten to the point of coming all the way up my esophagus yet, but is coming half way up causing the irritation. Prescribed Prilosec, but I am watching what I eat as I do not want to be on another med & I have read that Prilosec is not good for peops with LP.
There is a great book called The Elimination Diet which is what I useing to figure out what was irritating my stomach. Also seeing if this helps my Oral LP as well. I wish you luck 🙂

I didn’t find out until too late that ppi’s like Prilosec can be bad for your liver. You are right to be cautious. I have had sinus issues and hadn’t considered gasses from my digestive system as a cause until I did some research. Diet and intermittent fasting has given me some relief, but not a cure.
