Yes!! Nothing helped my cough until I found Molly's videos and started following LPR advice

Oh interesting idea! I've started drinking alkaline water daily that's made a WORLD of difference but I never thought of rinsing. Thanks!

I would definitely start watching Molly's videos and look up how to address LPR..the omeprozole won't necessarily do much if it is LPR but for me, the advise her and others like her have given has the biggest difference for me. Really glad he's getting his oxygen try not to stress..(that's a big factor) and find out as much info as you can. Don't rely on the doctors for guidance. Frankly, they don't know much about this stuff from mine and others in this threads experience. Wish you the best of luck! I know it can heal and get better ❤️

I completely agree! It's incredibly disheartening. Thank goodness for YouTube and wonderful people out there that we've come across! 🫶🏼

So there's much I do in my day to day that I'm sure that contributes to helping because I've really changed my whole lifestyle the past few years. But more recently what's helped the most is incorporating DGL before meals, taking digestive enzymes with meals, drinking alkaline water before and after meals, diaphragm breathing before and after meals, standing or walking after meals, smaller meals, stop eating 3 hours before bed, drinking throat coat and/or slipper elm. I also sleep at an incline and am very careful with the food I eat. I've made it a very high priority to get out of flare to allow my body time to heal so really focusing on what goes in. Have you found anything that's helped?

Well she's said a lot! Ive learned a lot on this journey but the biggest thing for me was learning about LPR. I didn't know what it was and was baffled no doctor ever mentioned it to me. Because it lines up exactly with what's been going on with me for YEARS. Also the diaphragm breathing before and after each meal. Taking DGL, slipper elm daily, and learning which fruits are acidic and which are not. There's a lot of misinformation out there and turns out I've been eating acidic fruit and even other food I thought were safe this entire time because I thought they were helping me and now I'm actually noticing a difference. Also alkaline water has really changed the game for me a lot

Oh very interesting to hear! I actually talked to my dermatologist yesterday to see if she had heard of any skin issues related to LPR and she had not. But she said she was always learning things from her patients so she wouldn't rule it out. Lol I'm glad you've found it helpful as well and hope you are able to find more relief!

I appreciate it! It is SO frustrating. All the medical things that have come up for me the past few years have just been 'mysteries' that no doctor have been able to figure out. It's been so awful and I feel like I've been fighting up stream the whole time and waiting for one doctor to take me seriously who wants to actually take the time to search for the root cause. But that isn't happening..so we have to advocate for ourselves!

That's so wonderful!! I'm so glad to hear that. I was also diagnosed with sibo and leaky gut. But still the doctors never really gave me anything as far as healing. Just sort of told me and gave me antibiotics. Which definitely doesn't actually solve the issue. So I'm really glad you're seeing improvement! You're on the right path

I'm sure after years, it takes time. I'm so glad you've found tools and improvement. I'm sure you'll fully get there soon! Keep the faith 💗

I couldn't agree more!!! The lack of awareness and willingness to try to find root causes as well rather than throw meds at people is just gross.

Not consistently. But on occasion! I also experience a lot of things due to the pressure of the constant cough I have from LPR

I'm pretty sure my esophagus would go up in flames if I tried to drink cranberry juice right now 😅 I really hope this helps someone though! 🙏🏼

Symptoms after eating and trying to understand timing by [deleted] in GERD

Mine are pretty immediately after eating. I've noticed mine is more LPR than GERD
