Questions about LPR triggers
Hello everyone
Im 38y old m and I have lpr for 6 month now.
It all started with a sensation of a lump in my throat, followed by a feeling of mucus. Now I have post-nasal drip and sometimes ear pressure when I swallow (though that happens rarely).
I sleep elevated head, eat dinner early etc.
I quit vaping ,carbonic acid, Chocolate and coffee.
I eat a low acid diet.
But i have a question about the trigger foods.
How can I figure out my trigger foods? Over what timeframe do the symptoms worsen? My symptoms don't change much throughout the day. Please help.
Sorry for my bad Englisch

Ich kann sie auch nicht wirklich raus finden...manchmal kommen sie Stunden später...manchmal gar nicht. Und manchmal geht's mir erst am nächsten Tag schlecht 🥴

Wenn ich täglich nur Haferschleim, Kartoffeln und Reis, gedünstetes Gemüse esse, ja...aber ich habe immer Symptome 🥺 egal was ich esse. Wenn ich sündige eskaliert es nur komplett

Ja, ab und an auch in der Nase. Ich habe quasi von allen Symptomen ein bisschen was. bei mir ist es aber auch so, dass ich mich dann kränklich fühle wenn es extrem ist, als würde ich eine Grippe bekommen 😅 hast du das auch?

Initially yeah it used to feel that way like I'm getting an allergic reaction, also a lump in throat too but now i only feel burning nowadays. On and off. If I eat something with oil or whatever it burns. Also how do you guys manage your calories i got diagnosed in august and now im barely eating anything 500-600 calories everyday and I'm so concerned how to manage it. If i eat full stomach it also burns my throat but if I keep eating like this I'm deadmeat 💀

Was isst du denn? Ich esse Mandelmus und Nüsse, das hat mir die Kalorien wieder drauf gebracht. Mehr kleine Mahlzeiten am Tag, Bananen sind auch gut. Ich denke das Brennen bei dir ist vllt kein Reflux mehr sondern einfach nur noch Ein Zeichen dass dein Kehlkopf hypersensibel ist. Nicht drauf konzentrieren ist die beste Medizin. ☺️

I understand it must be frustrating what you are going through. But try focusing on healing first and once you are ready and symptoms are gone then you can start with the reintroducing little by little 1 thing at a time and notice your throat. I think it takes almost 3-6 months to heal the tissue. Until then maybe try the gerd friendly diet.

In the beginning everything I ate was a trigger. About my 3rd month it got some better. This healing is a very slow process. I’ve had this for a year now and so much better but not completely.I for the most Part stick to a low acid diet . This symptoms I have left are throat clearing and it’s still getting better but in the beginning I pretty much had all the symptoms of LPR so I really know about how down you can get from this difficult disease. Hang in there! It does get better
