Hi all,
I have self-diagnosed myself with LPR and have been suffering from it since Nov 2017. First it started as dry cough, never had dry cough like that before.
So, I thought it must be related to lung but i couldn't think of a reason why my lung should be bad because i never smoked, BMI 19, works out and in my early 30s.
Eventually, the dry cough got worse and caused me shortness of breathing and severe post nasal drip around Jan 2017 and i went to a doctor and was told that i had bronchitis (basically blamed it on flu season, i think i was misdiagnosed) and put me on Prednisone and azithromycin for 5 days. Although the cough got much better i have started feeling GERD symptoms like heartburn at Day 4 of medication and the several days after finishing the treatment, i've started feeling the acid burning my throat, hoarseness of voice, dull hard to describe mild burn/pain like symptoms in both ears, chronic belching and sometimes my nose feels like it's blowing hot acidic air specially more after eating/drinking.
I've tried changing my diet but it's not really helping a lot but i noticed that i don't burp as excessively as before.
I'm on esomeprazole 20mg 1-2 times a day and I have a TNE procedure coming up soon with an ENT.
My new diet: Miso soup, turkey bacon, chicken dumplings, salmon, mashed potato, occasional bread, rice with lots of veggie and sardines, melons, banana, avocado, 1-2 cups of herbal tea a week, water 97% of time. Marshmallow root tea 1-3 cups a week, slippery elm tea 1-3 cups a week.
My old diet: Beef bolognese, pesto pasta, occasional lasagna, occasional pizza, salmon, fried rice with sardine, sharp cheddar cheese for snack, smoked salmon sandwiches with wholemeal bread, greek yogurt, lots of very strong lemon water, lots of green tea, lots of herbal tea, some water, hot ginger tea with few 1-2 cloves of garlic, turmeric tea. clementines, berries. I cooked all of the meals at home except for seldom pizza eating outside.
I kind of got crazy on ginger garlic tea and also turmeric tea from April 2017 to Nov 2017. I wonder if strong garlic ginger tea and strong lemon water damaged my stomach? Any thoughts?
Maybe i've brought LPR to myself by experimenting these crazy shits? Honestly read about them on several sites and thought that i was killing h-pylori and detoxing my gut. Now i only read wikipedia. (I used to have some milder GERD symptoms in my mid 20's but not LPR).
I have done my annual physical recently and everything was normal including the Vit D level. I am also using wedge pillow and i think it is causing back pain.
