I also have LPR. It started as regular reflux about 13 years ago when I was pregnant. Then it turned to silent reflux. I never get heartburn. I have seen 2 gi, 2 ent and an allergist. None have been very helpful. They prescribed Flonase for my congestion and Claritin-d. I have been on 3 different ppi meds that didn’t work along with Pepcid before bed. I use Gaviscon with some relief. I have an adjustable bed to sleep at an incline. I have had an EGD and colonoscopy, Ct scans, an esophagram. I have the EGD with Bravo scheduled in Jan. I have totally changed my diet and lost 23 lbs which was not needed. I’m 5’3” and now weigh 107 🙁 I have purchased the acid diet books and read a ton of things online. Not sure what to do next. Has anyone found something that actually works or a doctor that knows what they are talking about. That seems to be my problem. I know the congestion, ear pain and pressure, nose blockage and cycling, throat gurgling, Globus sensation, and acid taste are all connected.

Do you have a hiatal hernia? Avoid wearing tight clothes around abdomen area and chest. Have you tried a PPI?
