LPR- Any sufferers that could help??

by Laumandu, Mar 17, 2008 09:06PM
Hello, I am hoping someone on here who suffers with LPR may be able to help me.  I have been suffering with various throat related health problems for months and as I am an allergy sufferer, I went down that route and saw an ENT, he treated my allergy issues etc but I still have a feeling of mucus in the throat, a painful kinda burning feeling deep down in my throat which makes the side of my throat/neck ache and feel uncomfortable.  I have been following a dairy, wheat etc free diet to try and ease it and last week it settled a bit, for me then to have a glass of wine and my stomach starting playing up again and the throat went bad again. I had a scope of the throat done ages ago and the ENT though possibly reflux as I had an irrritated esophagus, and put me on omeprazole, helped a bit but then came back.  Whats odd is occasionally I can have a drink and Im okay, and then sometimes it will flare up and my throat becomes very uncomfortable.  I have just started Nexium and am waiting for a gastroscopy in a few weeks time so hope I will know more then.  I didn't mention my stomach problems to the ENT thinking they weren't related but now it seems they are...I get bloating, stomach upsets, or the opposite, wind etc and the most annoying throat trouble which drives me mad. I am in the UK and it seems to be taking forever to get a resolution to it, the nexium so far is not helping (on day 3) but that could be as I had a bad flare up last week and ,y throat feels sore.  If there is anyone out there who had been diagnosed with LPR that could tell me if they think this may be what I have, or give me info on foods to avoid, or advice I would be so grateful as its driving me mad. Message me if you would prefer.  Thanks so Much. Laura
