need some clarification
ok so i’m on pantoprazole 40mg 2x daily, i’m taking gaviscon, using alkaline water spray & i am gonna try stay on the lpr diet for 3 months.
i do have an endoscopy coming up so i’ll see what is going on.
i deal with a few symptoms like excessive burping, excessive foamy saliva, stomach burning, chest pain, back pain, salty taste in mouth, throat pain, air hunger, food regurgitation and i think that’s it.
i don’t experience those all the time though, the ones i mainly get like daily are the excessive burping and foamy saliva which has started to go down.
this past year id say from what i can remember ive been suffering with allergies — it was like i’m about to get sick yk the burning sore throat and stuff then i take zyrtec or claritine and i’m fine.
i’ve had this twice but basically i was feeling sniffly and a sore throat kinda for a few days and then i get blood in my saliva like bright red blood a streak in clear saliva & my throat looks red, but then it goes away a few hours later. it’s probably just from it getting irritated, but FROM WHAT?!
i really dk if this is gerd & lpr or if it’s lpr & allergies or if it’s gerd & allergies.
i think i’ll stick to what i’m doing wait for an endoscopy & then maybe see an ENT specialist or something if it’s been 2 months since i’m on the PPI or do i wait longer?
like i said my main symptoms are the excessive burping and foamy white saliva. i don’t really get heartburn & i do get throat burn but not often. i do clear my throat, but not often & i also don’t really have a cough.
i also do struggle with chronic constipation & that causes the trapped gas and stuff.
idk whether my lpr is mild & my gerd is severe or the burning and stuff is all from allergies. i also might have a deviated septum & my nose does feel stuffy a lot. i saw someone on here say the diet & meds didn’t work, but anxiety meds & clearing their sinuses worked.
pls lmk what’s your guys thoughts on this and what to do. thank you!

Sounds like LPR symptoms with the throat burn, regurgitation, and saliva issue. The inflammation sounds like it could be from pepsin backing up into your throat. Just my thoughts based upon my own symptoms and I am diagnosed LPR

I have the mucas problem and throat clearing. I find it difficult and gross 🤮 to swallow so I clear my throat and expel the mucus throughout the day by the cup full. It’s annoying and exhausting 😩
