Need information on Laryngopharyngeal Reflux

Hi Mistea, thank you so much for your response! The Gaviscon advance only works for about 20 minutes after I take it each time and then I feel the acid taste and sore throat coming back. I’m so scared of getting cancer that it has really effected my daily life and mental health. My father passed away 18 months ago from esophageal cancer. Are your symptoms the same as mine? Once you started the diet how long did it take to feel relief from your symptoms?

Hi michile, have u found any treatment that worked for u? I have bad taste as well, almost all the time, it goes away after eating for about an hour, then it comes back, have seen many doctors but no one helped me cause I don’t have any other symptoms

I'm so sorry I only saw this today. I got slammed with work and wasnt monitoring mayoclinic closely. I don't have sore throat or acid taste. I have a chronic cough and voice hoarseness. I had reflux/heartburn evey evening, especially if I lay flat, like for exercises and at bedtime. Now that I know about LPR, I am much more aware of these things. Esophageal guardian at bedtime, which i follow with about 4 ounces of natueal alkaline water, gives me immediate relief. Better than prilosec which I never liked.
And I do notice more "heartburn " and voice changes after a meal with meat or dairy.
Good luck! I sincerely hope you find something that works for you.
