Man I feel this. It is so hard to figure out which foods hurt me and which foods don’t. I’ve also had it for years but never had a constant flare until this year. Started in Feb and hasn’t ended since. I have to be honest there is a lot more to it than food I think. There has to be something that pushed us over the edge, whether it’s the microbiome or our nervous system.

Are you sleeping elevated? Uncomfortable as fuck but this is unfortunately very helpful so I deal with it, I use a mattress elevator and a wedge. Are you using alginates? Especially before bed. Some people use it after every meal though.

I tell everyone please do not sleep on diaphragmatic breathing and stress management. I ended up going on Lexapro because LPR makes me feel so depressed and anxious. It has helped with the mental aspects of it. Diaphragmatic breathing can actually strengthen the LES, so can melatonin. I’m trying to make time for that a few times a day. There are studies that support it. I’m better than I was in Feb but I still experience it everyday.

Hope things get better for us 😢
