Silent Reflux or LPR

Hi,
I have a suggestion for you. I was seen by ENT doctor and told, after an endoscopy procedure, that I had LPR. She prescribed PPI’s…which only made my symptoms worse. After a lot of research, I asked my family doctor if he would schedule a breathe test for me to check for SIBO. The test showed I had hydrogen SIBO. LPR and SIBO treatments are “vastly” different. I spent a lot of time and money going down the LPR path, when in fact I had SIBO. So my suggestion is: Get tested for SIBO before going down the LPR path. I wish someone (like a doctor) would have suggested this to me. Good luck to you!

I have SIBO now - finished the Xiafaxin and remains in the SIBO low fodmap diet for 6 weeks. Not improving after 2 weeks/diet - meeting with a functional medicine doctor soon.
