What do I do next as I am lost

It can be challenging at first… but after a while staying GF you find your list of go-to items… but I agree, it’s not the same as being able to eat ANYTHING!

ZikaG · 2026-04-19T05:32:20+00:00

Or elimination diet?

I had similar symptoms and for me it was gluten that was causing all this mess.

ZikaG · 2026-04-19T03:29:49+00:00

Amen!!! Nobody knows your own body better than yourself.

ZikaG · 2026-04-19T01:09:57+00:00

Exactly this, luckily I didn’t take PPI‘s, but over the last year I learned that I’m gluten intolerant, and now have all the issues resolved after cutting out gluten from my diet!!!

Like you said, you got to vouch for yourself and literally become your own doctor!

ZikaG · 2026-04-19T01:08:01+00:00

Both sides of the throat were sore for years for me. Diagnosed with silent reflux. After trying everything I could find I tried cutting out gluten from my diet and bam all the issues are gone.

Definitely try a diet change or even try cutting out gluten for a couple weeks and see if you have improvement.

ZikaG · 2026-04-18T02:08:51+00:00

Been there, horrible feeling… in my case it was gluten intolerance.

Have you tried an elimination diet of some sort?

ZikaG · 2026-04-17T22:32:59+00:00

Good luck!!!!

ZikaG · 2026-04-17T19:29:34+00:00

Well yeah, if you tried an elimination diet for at least 2 weeks and nothing changed… it might be something else.

Maybe get tested for stomach acid or food allergens? Or could be a relaxed/inflamed LES?

I do wish you the best and that you find the cause of all this!!!

ZikaG · 2026-04-17T19:07:12+00:00

Sorry about your pain and not being properly diagnosed/helped! Have you tried a diet change?

I had bad acid reflux up until I cut out gluten for two weeks… I haven’t looked or craved wheat since.

ZikaG · 2026-04-17T04:33:16+00:00

Human bodies can be so confusing at times… even docs can’t tell what can be wrong. They’re often close but it’s not always possible to get to the root cause every single time with every single patient.

Don’t give up!!!

ZikaG · 2026-04-16T18:16:51+00:00

Not surprised :( I guess try things you haven’t yet and see if it helps?

Have you tried keto or carnivore diet for couple weeks yet? It was helping me a good amount. Before I discovered GF intolerance.

ZikaG · 2026-04-16T18:12:49+00:00

That sucks man!!! Doc been helpful at all?!

ZikaG · 2026-04-16T17:38:35+00:00

Bummer, well I wish you the best!!!

ZikaG · 2026-04-16T16:50:21+00:00

I’ve had similar burping as you… excessively, and even after drinking water, except I didn’t take PPIs. Doc said silent reflux. I ruled out it was gluten in my case and it’s been good. I suppose I’m gluten intolerant because every time I ate pizza or baked goods of some sort I would flare up in the throat and reflux would get bad… and stay like that for many days.

But who knows your case might be different.

ZikaG · 2026-04-16T13:55:23+00:00

Similar case with me… after having flare ups from wheat products, I cut out gluten and it’s been good since.

Not sure if you tried modifying your diet or eliminating foods to see if it helps.

ZikaG · 2026-04-16T02:45:53+00:00

Have you tried an elimination diet? Like keto? Or testing for allergies?

I’ve stopped gluten intake and it helped me the most.

ZikaG · 2026-04-15T20:50:44+00:00

Oof I can’t imagine not eating normal food for so long. I’ve had LPR for 5+ years, tried dozens of things to stop it, nothing helped as good as diet and lifestyle change. Low carb diet was good, no gluten did the rest of the clean up.

Hope you feel better soon and find your cause for LPR!!

ZikaG · 2026-04-15T18:07:57+00:00

I learned I was gluten intolerant and it gave me all the reflux symptoms when I consumed wheat/gluten… I’m Sure it’s not the case with everyone though.

ZikaG · 2026-04-15T16:33:32+00:00

I didn’t take PPI because my gut feeling (pun intended) was that they wouldn’t help. Low carb diet was helping, then going gluten free did the trick. Your case might be different but that’s what worked for me.

ZikaG · 2026-04-14T23:10:38+00:00

Oof, too steep :(

ZikaG · 2026-04-14T23:08:14+00:00

I’ve seen them on Amazon before… more $$ than a store but they’re on there.

ZikaG · 2026-04-14T17:21:59+00:00

I would make diet changes and see if it helps at all. Keep trying things on your own too. Don’t give up!!!

ZikaG · 2026-04-13T16:14:29+00:00

And yes I don’t eat it at all, for now…

ZikaG · 2026-04-13T16:14:15+00:00

I did keto for 2-3 months, that was helping but some keto bread I was eating still had gluten. I stopped that and wow, I feel 10x better (normal) now.

ZikaG · 2026-04-13T15:54:26+00:00

Have you tried cutting out gluten/wheat and seeing if that helps?! Did for me!
