Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LRP) - severity and outlook? I have had LPR reflux for about 5 years and have made the normal lifestyle changes (diet, bed, etc) which reduced symptoms slightly PPIs do not seem to help so we suspect pepsin rather than acid The severity of symptoms changes over time with throat "experiences" occuring roughly as follows: No problem (10%)
Breathing problem: Silent Reflux a hidden epidemic Often overlooked and misdiagnosed, silent reflux affects over 50 million Americans The backflow of stomach acid and digestive enzymes (pepsin) can wreak havoc on your esophagus (the food passage that goes from your throat to your stomach), as well as your ears, nose, throat, vocal cords, sinuses, mouth, and lungs
Silent Reflux or LPR - Mayo Clinic Connect I have tried Pantoprazole for a year but it didn't help and I also have some Gaviscon Advance which is difficult to find in the USA but I found it on Amazon There is a Dr Peter Dettman who is an expert on Pepsin which is the main cause of LPR Also Dr Christopher Chang who is an ENT specialist that does work in this field
