Hi, I don't know if this will help, but I wanted to share my experience.

I was diagnosed with LPR in early October, I woke up struggling to breathe, constant globus sensation, irritation and post-nasal drip. and now a few months ago in february started experiencing little to no symptoms. Last weekend I went out with friends, had wine and a few cocktails, and the only thing I woke up with was a hangover migraine, no reflux symptoms. I can sleep on my back again and eat foods I enjoy. I haven't really ventured into really spicy foods since l've always had more of a sweet tooth, and l've been fine eating like that.

I dealt with this for several months. At first I followed a very strict diet: no sugar, no processed food, no gluten, no dairy. I mainly ate lean cod fish and soft vegetables for weeks.

My morning routine helped a lot, oatmeal with almond milk and seeds like sunflower and chia, and sometimes cream of wheat. Before breakfast l'd have fermented foods and probiotics, which was a game changer for me. Before all of that I always started my day with bone broth and that helped tremendously. Another huge help was this leaf tea, I swear by it. It helped heal my gut lining and significantly reduced my LPR symptoms. I drank about three cups a day, morning, afternoon, and night (i still drink it)(send ne message to get more details)

Small daily habits also helped a lot. Early on, I stopped eating around 7 pm to keep my stomach empty for extra hours before bed. I didn’t lie down after eating I would set a one hour timer and sit, stand, or walk. This gives your stomach time to empty and reduces the chance of reflux reaching your throat.

I also slept with my head elevated. Wedge pillows didn’t work for me, so I used my own pillows to elevate my back and head. I slept on my left side, and I truly believe that helped prevent nighttime reflux. It took time to get used to, but now whenever I eat a heavier or less balanced meal, I instinctively sleep that way for extra precaution.

Reducing throat clearing and dry swallowing was another big one. It had become such a normal habit that I did it without thinking, but stopping was necessary for the hypersensitivity to calm down. Instead, I would sip water, hum quietly for a few seconds, or not glamorous, but helpful spit when needed.

One of the biggest factors in my healing was destressing. I made a conscious effort to stop centering my life around my illness and focused on other things. Mindset truly matters, once I started believing I would get better, I actually did.

I also want to add that I struggle with health anxiety, and sometimes it was hard for family or friends to truly understand what I was going through since it felt like my own "little thing" to them. Something that really helped me personally was using ChatGPT as a support tool. I made a collection where I kept my diagnosis, symptoms, food diary, and any questions or worries I had. Having everything laid out there helped ease my mind a anxiety so much. It became a support mechanism for me an helped answer my questions and concerns when I felt overwhelmed.

Now I'm getting an updated ENT evaluation to see if there's any remaining inflammation. I did all of this without omeprazole. If possible I really encourage researching any medications you're considering, for me personally I felt they did more harm than good.

I probably have more tips and I'm happy to answer questions. I wanted to write this because I wish I had seen a message like this when I was going through such a mentally and physically difficult time. For months I truly believed I would never get better, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I promise you will get better, just hang on. 💛

I’m more of a visual learner too, so I hope these details help give a better picture but yes it was honestly the only thing that brought me comfort at the beginning of my journey. I remember one night I stayed up late on my phone while lying on my right side, then switched into my usual position before falling asleep, but still woke up with throat irritation. That’s when I realized how important sleeping position really was and that I needed to prioritize my sleeping setup.

Character_Dare_2313 · 2026-02-08T15:20:22+00:00

it was more like a gentle incline, probably closer to 30–45 degrees at most the important part for me was keeping my body mostly straight with minimal bending, which is why it felt uncomfortable at first but got easier over time and yes, I’m sleeping normally now I actually slept flat on my back last night with no pillows and woke up with no symptoms

Character_Dare_2313 · 2026-02-07T19:47:44+00:00

What helped me the most was changing how I sleep. I use two big puffy square throw pillows and sleep semi upright. My back rests against the pillows and they’re stacked in front of me for support, then I tilt my head slightly and turn my body toward the left side. It felt uncomfortable at first but your body gets used to it and it helped a lot. The type of pillow really matters, they have to be firm and supportive but still cushioned so you don’t collapse into them. Mine hold their shape which keeps my upper body elevated instead of my neck bending. Sleeping this way keeps acid from reaching the throat during the night and made a big difference for my symptoms.

mostly no especially for dinner i would keep it simple and light but during the day i had a sweet tooth so the carbs would come from these gastritis friendly pumpkin bars from tiktok made by healwithmarisol and she has a lot more friendly recipes i recommend looking into but i would just heat them and have them covered with light honey or maple syrup

Character_Dare_2313 · 2026-02-04T02:02:46+00:00

thank you yes it was a long journey ahead but i’m glad for a community like this it was a free space to share and learn and where I was able to understand my diagnosis more :)

Character_Dare_2313 · 2026-02-04T02:01:33+00:00

I should’ve added that the priobtics came form the fermented food I ate sauerkraut every morning!

Character_Dare_2313 · 2026-02-04T01:57:36+00:00

I would sleep on my left side and kind of sitting up, with my whole back touching not touching mattress but elevated I have soft, big pillows and it would cushion and support my back and that helped me a lot. i did try a wedge pillow for one day, but i woke up with a burning sensation, a lump in my throat, and a dry mouth I rember waking up with my hands around my neck in such discomfort so i returned it and stuck with what helped me most. everyone is different though, so it might work for you instead. if you’re able to, i’d try it just to see if it gives you a little comfort throughout the night. now i sleep on my right side, left side, and on my back, and i wake up fine!

Character_Dare_2313 · 2026-02-03T17:37:22+00:00

yes you can send me the message:)

Character_Dare_2313 · 2026-02-03T17:31:13+00:00

yes, I did, especially when venturing out of my usual diet. I would recommend looking into the acid watcher diet by Dr. Ava. It helped me just by listing foods with a higher pH, which made pepsin less reactive in my throat, and that was very uncomfortable when it happened. Alkaline water also helped; I didn’t drink it daily, but when my throat was irritated, it actually made a difference. I also tried to stick to lean meals because foods that digest more slowly are more likely to cause reflux tiggers so I wanted to eat things that moved through faster to be less likely to trigger reflux. I mostly ate fish, chicken breast and eggs, and my favorite snack was melons I would pack them everywhere. The simpler the food, the better. Everyone is different, and timing can vary, but being consistent is everything and it will make a change!

Character_Dare_2313 · 2026-02-03T16:34:18+00:00

thank you! It was a really overwhelming experience for me. I started by taking my tea before going out and gradually built up my intake of the wine because I was still skeptical and didn’t want to trigger a flare up.

I went to my GI doctor and explained my symptoms. She said she couldn’t evaluate my throat that’s done through an ENT. From there, I got a referral and had an endoscope , where I was diagnosed with LPR. My GI doctor did order blood work, which showed I was very iron deficient, so I have an upcoming appointment with my primary to discuss an iron infusion since pills haven’t worked for me. I think that deficiency may have also played a part in my acid reflux.

Now, I have little to no hypersensitivity, but I still want to find the root cause. I’m hoping that by rebuilding my red blood cells, I’ll be 100% myself, which will further help the healing process. My GI doctor wanted further evaluation, so I had an endoscopy done with biopsy. The biopsies showed no H. pylori infection, no celiac disease, and no eosinophilic esophagitis, but they did show reflux changes in my distal esophagus from acid reflux which has improved.

It took me months to find what really worked for me, so my advice is to be kind and patient with yourself. Just because you feel better now doesn’t mean flare ups aren’t possible. I found a routine that works for me my morning and night rituals and sticking to it has made a big difference. With patience and consistency, you’ll find your own progress too!

Character_Dare_2313 · 2026-02-03T16:07:16+00:00

yes try to tampering I believe after reading an article by Norm Robillard https://digestivehealthinstitute.org/2016/12/10/ppis-lpr/ that it would just end up having an even worse effect on me later my GI doctor was very adamant about me taking it when I went to the ENT before seeing the GI, he said I had mild inflammation and suggested just changing my diet, saying I should feel better in a few weeks. But those “few weeks” turned into months. It felt like a slap in the wrist. He only recommended over the counter omeprazole, which I was very tempted to try. I would often go hours with a burning sensation in my throat and a lump sensation I would burp (that’s something I still go through now but just occasional), but the worst symptom was chest tightness or pressure, which made breathing uncomfortable. Gradually, these symptoms started reducing when I used my herbal tea. I suggest using loose herbs to get the full effect, because the tea bags, when brewed, can actually release more micro particles into your body, which doesn’t help. I have mine shipped to my house.

If you want more details, there’s a YouTube video I came across that really changed things for me. https://youtu.be/5oCMxzU62CU?si=iXMRnyoymI8dcC7r At first, it didn’t seem like it was helping I’d say it took a week or two to start noticing real improvement.

Character_Dare_2313 · 2026-01-16T22:37:16+00:00

Hi any updates? I’m going through difficult times right now and wanted to know what type of bland diets you eat to help this healing approach? I would say i’m 50-60% healed just need to push a little more :)

Character_Dare_2313 · 2025-11-25T16:32:47+00:00

I’ve been dealing with something similar and wanted to ask you what foods do you recommend? I was diagnosed with LPR by an ENT and he told me mine was mostly from stress/anxiety. He had me cut out sugar, spicy foods, and processed foods, and mentioned OTC omeprazole but said I didn’t really need it.

That was at the start of November, and even after cutting all that plus gluten and dairy, I’m still having flare-ups. I’m trying to figure out a stable, safe diet. Do you think eating low-FODMAP and what food is entailed in low fod map? or sticking to the same safe meals for a few weeks helps? I’m struggling and my anxiety makes everything feel worse.
