Anyone dealing with LPR?

[fairydoll]

LPR is the silent form of GERD/Acid Reflux. It stands for Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and the symptoms of it are below:

•Continual throat clearing
•Chronic throat irritation
•Chronic cough
•Hoarseness
•Excessive phlegm the throat
•Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
•Constant sensation of something in the throat
•Swallowed food comes back up
•Post nasal drainage
•Weak voice
•Cracking voice
•Blockage of the breathing passage
•Spasm of the larynx (voice box)
•Wheezing
•Heartburn



I started having these symptoms in 2009 (my yearly horoscope said I would encounter a health problem that would cause me to change my diet in late April/beginning of May and it was right on target!), only my ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) doctor originally told me it was acid reflux. I had to do some research on my own to find out it was LPR. I don't experience the typical episodes of heartburn that most acid reflux sufferers go through (i.e. no burning sensation in esophagus).

I initially started with feeling like something was stuck in my throat, it didn't hurt when I swallowed it was just there. So I went to an ENT and they did an Endoscopy and said I had a hiatal hernia, laryngitis, and h.pylori (bacterial infection in stomach that causes ulcers) and that all of this was related to acid reflux. So I went on meds, didn't change my diet, started exercising, drinking ginger tea, acv, and was doing well. I stopped taking the meds b/c I don't like drugs in my body.

So long story short, other symptoms started to surface so I got back on meds, really made an effort to change my diet which is how I came across this website. I made an inquiry to the herbalist and they suggested I do the FBD and Electric Cells Cleanse. I'm just wondering if anyone else has dealt with these symptoms and if the FBD worked for them?

this is not directly related to your inquiry, but metaphysically look into what could be the cause. the throat area could mean something
.
what about 2009 made this come about, it isn't a genetic problem, bc u didn't have it since childhood. so there is something that happened, something you started consuming or doing, something caused this and your body is reacting. really think about that

marshmallow root is good for clearing up mucous, it works on my family when I give it to them during winter months.

Yes so true... think about what was going on around that  time and now see yourself healing from LPR and do juice. Juice with dark green veggies and use your FBD also gargle with some food grade peroxide this should help....

Thanks for the responses. I should be more clear, this problem started back in 2002/3 with me feeling a poking sensation in the right side of my chest and in the right side of my upper back. It was like the pain from the front radiated to the back. That was also more annoying than painful. I know, or I think, that was the acid because when I started on the medication for reflux in 2009, that pain went away and I don't get that feeling anymore.

Around the time this began, I was in college and my aunt passed away at the end of 2001. I went through a few episodes of anxiety after that happened. I've had bronchitis twice and strep throat in the past, and I remember having a chest cold around this same time and taking meds for that b/c I didn't want to get bronchitis. You know how the warning label tells you not to stop taking until the bottle is gone? Well, I stopped because I felt better and THAT is when I first felt that poking sensation, so I started taking the meds again lol. Didn't help.

Over the years I just learned to live with it, I had anxiety about it b/c I thought it was cancer but since the doctors didn't think it was anything serious, I just learned to live with it.

Fast forward to 2009, mysterious lump in my throat and it ballooned into this whole acid reflux thing. I honestly cannot recall anything that went on in 2009 that may have caused this problem on a metaphysical level. I hold grudges towards people that have hurt or offended me, but that's about the only thing that I can think of. I am now learning to forgive. The only other thing I recall in 2009 is actually reading my Chinese (pig) horoscope and it blatantly said I would have a health issue that would change my eating habits and that change would happen in April or May. This is when the acid reflux problem started. I'm a Taurus so I guess that means I'm prone to throat health issues.

Now, there are things that happened to me in 2010 where I could understand being affected on a metaphysical level but I am learning to forgive with that situation as well.

I'll keep digging within myself until I have an "ah ha" moment  I've had those before when I've reflected....
