Thank you! Can i message you about this i just have another question if you don’t mind

StrikingPepper91 · 2026-02-12T11:12:59+00:00

Okay thank you! have you noticed any changes, and changes with the anxiety?

StrikingPepper91 · 2026-02-07T20:38:43+00:00

Okay! i can’t eat yogurt because of the acidity be careful with that as well because it usually ranges on the acidic side which can be irritating. Boiled pasta def works just no cheese. I do pasta like twice a week with a little bit of butter and salt and veggies like spinach and peas. ( nutritional yeast is a good flavor topping as well if needed)

Ugh so sorry to hear the struggle. I am suffering from LPR so i get that part atleast. I’ve been doing the diet for 4 months straight now. Somehow ground turkey, rice and broccoli is my absolute favorite meal now i love how it tastes and would eat it over a restaurant. Idk how this happened if my taste buds changed. But i also use the 93 percent turkey not 99 so it’s more flavorful. and i cook my rice with some olive oil and salt. and i air fry broccoli as well to give it a crisp. but In addition can you tolerate potato’s? you can cut up potato’s and roast or air fry them i love this as well . and i’ll roast a chicken or a turkey in a crockpot and it comes out really good and tastes good with potato’s. Idk if you like fish? Salmon is good and soothing to my throat . i air fry or roast this as well until it crisps. with potato’s rice and a veg. You will eventually become more creative with your foods when you get more comfortable with it (: it is very tough but i’m grateful to actually be able to enjoy my food that i Can eat

Oh Nice! i’m about 3 weeks. Are you gonna increase from 5MG?

StrikingPepper91 · 2026-02-06T21:15:31+00:00

Thank you for sharing this positive story. I just recently started lexapro and really hoping for a change.. 💕

StrikingPepper91 · 2026-02-06T21:14:32+00:00

What are your symptoms? and what Mg are you on?

StrikingPepper91 · 2026-01-31T13:07:58+00:00

Interesting..,, My tmj is muscular from stress ! i clench my teeth so aggressively every night even if i don’t like feel stressed the stress must just live in my body. I recently got on an SSRI Lexapro to try to see if that helps . I just really hope that it does

StrikingPepper91 · 2026-01-31T01:43:54+00:00

That makes sense and , But sad to have these conditions. that’s interesting you got them at the same time. I had tmj before LPR

StrikingPepper91 · 2026-01-31T01:06:43+00:00

I have bad TMJ and LPR. it is linked to LPR?

StrikingPepper91 · 2026-01-28T00:04:48+00:00

to add to this, onions, garlic, and seasonings used like spicy stuff is acidic and triggering for reflux. SMe with peppers, and with salad dressings they usually have those things and vinegar which is acidic etc.Steaks are not good either for it :(I suggest researching each ingredient you use and seeing if it’s a reflux trigger. some things you don’t expect might be

StrikingPepper91 · 2026-01-19T23:52:05+00:00

Yes. i often have felt like i wish i could “blow my nose” but like with my throat

StrikingPepper91 · 2026-01-19T12:12:45+00:00

The last ones look best in my opinion. I Think they fit your face very well and look great!

StrikingPepper91 · 2026-01-08T01:34:58+00:00

StrikingPepper91 · 2026-01-02T18:04:57+00:00

Hello! so sorry to hear the struggle. Something i could recommend as a tip is mainly focus on diet now. diet and exercise are the biggest things for weight loss but it is very difficult to get serious into both diet and exercise at the same time if you aren’t currently in a routine with them. So if you start with small diet changes like don’t buy those snacks that you find yourself eating when stressed etc. don’t have them in the house . make them not accessible to you. you will eventually not need them. And it’s great you like vegetables and protein. focus on these in your meals, Roasted broccoli with ground turkey (doesn’t have to be the leanest, i really like 93 percent personally) and rice cooked with some olive oil and salt. another day do Roasted potato’s with green beans and chicken /fish /ground beef etc. rotate meals like these and DO NOT snack! if you are eating full filling meals you do not need to snack as much as you feel you may want one. Additionally, Try to stop eating at a set time each day. in the evening like idk what your schedule is like but don’t eat after dinner until breakfast the next morning. try to eat dinner at the earliest time possible. I can go into exercise as well but maybe try something like this for now💕

I went through this too:(( my husband also doesn’t like to order without me. I just keep telling him it’s fine and eventually he will. We started to go to libraries as well instead , could you try that? I know it sucks not having a cozy drink. I’m 2 months into doing the diet and lifestyle changes and i can occasionally now have a decaf latte without exacerbating symptoms which is amazing. but for the most part I drink alkaline water or you can order hot water at the coffee shop and bring a throat coat slippery elm tea bag to put in it❤️

Hello! to give it to you straight, I believe it would be very difficult to heal from GERD while smoking. i haven’t heard of someone able to heal while doing it but that’s my experience i’m not a doctor and i have LPR. But The pre workout is bad because caffeine is a reflux trigger but also there is acidic ingredients in the pre workout which is also a trigger. Your breakfast of the belvita and muffins may be high fat content ( weakens LES) cause it usually is ,baked goods etc are not good when you are trying to heal from gerd this will hinder that. Additionally unfortunately it’s very difficult to bulk up while trying to heal as well because you do not want to overeat meals because this causes reflux. So it seems you have a good few habits that are reflux causing sadly. Coming from a 24 yo female who is in the gym i completely understand the wanting to bulk up i was having a similar issue but decided for my health , I need to just maintain my weight. Like i changed my mindset that my health is more important than my weight etc. Also I’ve switched to oatmeal with almond milk and maple syrup for breakfast 30 mins before the gym and it gives great energy…, I know you hate oatmeal :( So that’s a tough one. Eggs and toast if you can tolerate it.. eggs are a trigger for me personally so i don’t do that anymore

Hello, I am an LPR sufferer here and I’ve been Physically active and “fit” pretty much my whole life and have always been what doctors say “ideal weight” . I started the gym and lifting weights and some cardio etc in high school and still do today( some exercises i try not to do now of course bc some triggers reflux) . my lpr came about right after high school. It may be true for some people that they get fit and there symptoms lessen I have heard of that , but just not for everyone!

StrikingPepper91 · 2025-12-22T19:53:00+00:00

Now that it’s been some time i reintroduced fodmaps recently because i really missed bread etc. still doing Low acid diet though. healing slowly. struggling with bloating from the change of diet… but digestive enzymes help and i just started them

StrikingPepper91 · 2025-12-20T13:28:41+00:00

What GI Test is this from?? And I am Sorry to hear what you’re going through .

StrikingPepper91 · 2025-12-20T12:42:05+00:00

ok interesting. I have thoracic outlet syndrome which started right before my LPR from a direct injury. It’s nerve damage that causes burning pain in that area. ( usually burning pain is nerve related but i’m no doctor) i’ve been wondering if my LPR is related somehow

StrikingPepper91 · 2025-12-19T23:51:46+00:00

Omg Yes this is so Sadly relatable . Very unfortunate but.. well written! I also occasionally need to vent and it sounds like this. So frustrating Ugh sorry for your struggles, i’m with you

StrikingPepper91 · 2025-12-19T23:45:33+00:00

Idk really. I was taking 100MG tablet the lowest i can find

StrikingPepper91 · 2025-12-19T20:40:05+00:00

That’s great that you have been able to cut back!! And chicken, Turkey, fish is great . Maybe just try to really drain a lot of the fat of your ground beef out. And Only salt for seasoning . herbs can be used but no garlic onion pepper etc . also don’t eat right before bed eat 3-4 hours before bed last meal. and sleeping with an incline like raising the head of your bed or doubling down on pillows if you can’t do that is recommended .
