How Do You Know if You Have LPR or Silent Reflux? | We Nose Noses 

It can also be not what you eat but HOW you eat. I realized that I was eating too quickly. I decided to eat more slowly and my silent reflux is getting much much better. This is never mentioned by doctors but this was the cause in my case. Something to consider.

I had this for over 10 years and didn't realize what it was. Unfortunately most GI and ENT doctors do not have much of a solution for it. The ENT doctor I went to at least did give me a definitive diagnosis. The ones I went to put me on PPIs to" reduce acid damage" which don't work very well and caused other problems like SIBO, Yeast overgrowth and possibly the HPylori I had. These guys are good doctors the problem is that to solve this you have to change your diet and lifestyle extensively that's not something a medical doctor can really help you with.

This is the worst thing that can happen to a singer. It’s absolutely horrible.

Recovering from this right now. I’m making videos on it. The key is time and discipline. It takes a lot longer to heal then people think.

Excellent information! Loved the panel format. Thank you!

Great video, thank you guys 💪

This was very informative and helpful! Thank you so much 🙏

What a great, comprehensive video. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, gentlemen.

Really enjoyed this clip. Exactly what I needed. I even subscribed.

Very helpful, thank you Doctors💥🤍✨

Thank you so much i hav all this going on please keep making videos thanks for the help

Thank you for this information. Very useful. ❤❤

Thank you so much for teaching about LPR. Most people act like it doesn't exist and I've never gotten a response to any questions I've asked so again thanks.

This is really eye opening video for me regarding my symptoms really thank you so much for this video

I have this persistent cough due to a hiatus hernia and have been on ppi for over 20 years now, currently on Esomeprazole 40mg per day, I’m 65 years old and live in the UK, I would like to come off ppi as I read that they are not good for you long term, What would you recommend?

Very informative 👍

This is great. I want to go back in time, go to Med school, become an ENT doc, and join your practice!

can you guys talk about Barret's acephogas? thanks

Im praying someone could answer me this question. I took clonazepam for a whole year for anxiert and while I was on it I was fine but after a month of taken my last dose I develope a feeling of something stuck in my throat. In the morning is ok but after my first meal I feel discomfort and slowly starts getting better until the next meal. I dont have a cough and Ive had many tests performed including 2 barrium swallos 1 upper endoscopy and laryngoscopy and others as well. The barriums and the upper endoscopy came back negative to gerd. I do play saxophone as well. Ive read that clonazepam could cause the les to relax and cause lpr. Could the benzodiazepams cause a permanent les disfunction?

Thank you so much!

Thank you! What is postnasal drip?

Tonsils.? I had mine removed in quite a course manner when I was 3 in 1948( Uk). Can remember it clearly .just had a thought could this lead to LPR in later life.i am now 79 znd suffer greatly with all the symptoms particularly excessive coughing and globus. I like to try and connect any dots.

How can zi find a doctor like them please !!

why do doctors recommend PPIs? Reflux is to little acid in the stomach, a PPI doesn't help this problem. It excerabates the problem.

Hello doctor silent reflux can affect foliate papillae and throat pain?

Excellent

I had the nasal drip. Didn’t know I was having issues with silent reflux. Thought it was allergies. Now I’ve been diagnosed with Barrett’s. I wished I had know this before.

Ive got 2cm sliding hitus herna sour liquid in mouth pain between shoulder blades burping gas nausea fatigue been like this over 3 years tried everything all they tell me you shouldn't be getting systoms had all ppi tablets antibiotics also they said operation would be drastic so am at a loss any suggestions please also tried diet

I was constantly clearing my throat and especially during vigorous sports. GERD was suggested by a friend of mine. I also have sleep apnea and am a mouth breather and snorer when I sleep. In my quest to avoid CPAP and improve my sleep situation I started mouth taping. I can tell you that within 2 weeks my throat clearing disappeared. (My sleep apnea also went from severe to mild on my next sleep test) So it wasn’t reflux. This one is tricky indeed. Good luck everyone.

I’ve been suffering from post nasal drip for about two years now. I take linzess for constipation for about 4 years now. I’ve always had sinus/allergy issues my whole life and I’ve had sinus surgeries plus I’ve been getting allergy shots for about the past 4 years now. The post nasal drip only started a couple of years ago and I don’t think it’s caused by allergies, my doctor suggested acid reflux. I’m starting to wonder if linzess is causing Gerd and the Gerd is causing my post nasal drip. I do have a scope scheduled with a GI but I’m curious if anybody has had this issue with linzess?? I’m just trying to connect the dots.

THE NICE DOC WITH GLASSES DESCRIBING SORE THROAT. JOARSE VOICE. ALLERGY & CONSTANT CLEARING THE THROAT IS MOST USEFUL, AS OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS I HAD ALL THOSE.

I have tremendous dry mouth and was recently diagnosed with LPR. My Dr originally thought it was Oral Thrush. Is dry mouth a common symptom of LPR ? Or do I have something else going on?

Ppi medication can treat throat pain from silent relux?

I have LPR and low stomach acid. Initially I was diagnosed with GERD and BO; given PPI's which initially worked but a year later after suffering iron deficient anemia, chronic fatigue and sinus problems, I was re-diagnosed with LPR and hypochlorhdria. I no longer take PPI's or any antacids. I now take Betaine and through the day drink lemon water. All my symptoms are gone. I think doctors are all too ready to hand out PPI's without further testing.

I thought I was coughing from long Covid… I was coughing and clearing my throat, once in a while I’d lose my voice saying a word my voice would fade out or the word would be lost. I did have a slight ear ache a few times nothing major… only to learn a few days ago I have this diagnosis 😑 thank you!!!!

I have had silent reflux for a few years now, I now have a very sore, hoarse and quiet voice. It is very annoying. I am on omeprazole, Famotidine and Gaviscon advance but nothing seems to help. I have a hiatus hernia but have waited over a year for an appointment with ENT.

Hi docs,I.have Silent reflux and a hiatial herniaas well as primary hyperparathyroidism,I am trying to eat alkaline food to not trigger the lpr,but what I would like to know is what foods can I eat that won't trigger the lpr yet provide adequate calories and nutrition.Thanks.

an ENT told me I had silent reflux after putting a camera up my nose & into my throat - the only symptom I had was occasional heartburn usually in the evening & usually from eating certain foods & sometimes when I when to bed (ie lying down) a reflux pain at the entrance to my stomach - they gave me a PPI to use which Ive decided to take for a while mainly to see if it helps clear up my sinus issue which is the far more significant problem I have as its stoping me sleeping - I dont want to get addicted to it though so wont take it for months on end

Thank you so much for this video. I have been suffering for the past five months with post nasal drip, sore throat, a tickle that makes me cough, hoarse voice, thicker mucus inside that causes me to have to clear my throat that is so bad it causes me to choke. Spicy foods do make me cough more. But I'm finally going to go to an ENT after making my appointment 5 months ago. 😅

wow! I think this is me!

This is exactly me constant coughing especially after eating and drinking chocolate or tea with milk my ears and nose feels blocked and runny thanks for this a revelation to clean up my diet .

Does silent reflux cause tonsillitis?

I forget what the actual diagnosis was but my 24 hour Ph monitor test and endoscopies all pointed to upper esophageal reflux with esophageal rings whatever they are and functional esophagus whatever that it. I was sent to voice doctors and they took high resolution video of my vocal cords in action which was painful. My vocal cords are very stained with edema and the area around them are pock marked with white blobs. One of the vocal cords has a small white things sticking out and the cords smash together and stick together. What's more is my pulmonary function test showed stage III I think COPD yet my VO2 Max is superior and all my fitness activities show high functional capacity, low breathing rate and low resting heart rate. I run out of breath when talking sometimes just a few seconds in. I can go all day at max incline on a treadmill and not even breathe hard. My voice sounds raspy and harsh and it hurts to talk and sometimes to swallow. It's been like this for two decades with no improvement except for a period of time when I was on nexium. Now the HMO wont authorize nexium and my throat and esophagus are swollen and it triggered Afib recently when swallowing too much of a smoothie after working out. My voice sounds a little like RFK Jrs at times. It hurts to talk and I run out of breath and energy doing so. Some docs said this is anxiety other said it is GERD and LPR and others have said it is COPD. Not a smoker. Grew up around it though. When I was kid my heartburn was daily and always up in my throat not my chest area. Now it doesnt burn up there it just hurts.

I have constant feeling of something stuck in my throat like lump feeling, a lot of burping the minute I drink or eat something and also a mild chest pain. My doctor said it was Gerd and prescribed me Omeprazole which help somewhat with lump feeling, but 2 hours after I take the meds I feel as if my right side of throat all the way to my ear is clogged, like I have something there. Can this be more LPR or Gerd?

I've had constant clearing of my throat for 4 years, along with sticky mucus, hoarse voice and cough. It used to be just ar night but now it's during the day and night. I have a tickling cough, and what looks like spots on the back of my mouth. I am beginning to think it silent acid reflux. It tastes bitter, often exacerbated after eating and lying down. I thought it was just something l would have to live with.

What about nausea soon after finishing the meal, burping, then vomiting and constantly having hiccups in days and weeks? and sometimes burping even hours after the meals?

I get like an asthma attack type sensation when I eat.It attacks my breathing from the pepsin being activated by the acid in my stomach causing aerosols to rise into my respitory tract.I do have a 2cm hiatial hernia and Primary Hyperparathyroidism. Can either or both of these conditions cause LPR.?

Thanks

I suffered Global sensation for one year ..then used PPI and then after one year started acid reflux Now using sporolac and cidar Slight improvement

Any office in North NJ that address this?

What does one do

Isn’t lpr sikent reflux isn’t it the same thing ??

hello i have excessive saliva and sometimes i get heartburn, Its annoying having to spit all the time you can't go out, what is this help.

Hi, i was just diagnosed with ge junction cancer. I have had these symptoms for years. I firmly believe that LPR has contributed to this cancer.

How much if you use the camera coz i think is to expensive

I've been managing my gerd for months and just a week ago. I suspect that my gerd was turned into a silent reflux now. Because my usual symptoms were almost gone and turned into shortness of breath, clearing of throat in the morning, sour/bitter taste, burning throat, chest pain. Before I take my iron supplement and dealt with constant stress and anxiety. My gerd symptoms was the typical I have been dealing with for months which we bloating, indigestion, lump in the throat, heartburn, dizziness, dry mouth which I can easily managed back then. Now it's a different scenario and it's freaking me out. 😢

What is the cause of “asthma like coughing/wheezing in the chest” after exercising?

Anyone experience palpitations on left side with SLR? I have all symptoms, along with palpitations, but no heartburn. Been taking Betain/Pepsin and seems to help. I've been to ER many times and all checks out (3 previous heart attacks due to CAD, been diabetic type 1 for 42 years and am on WFPB No SOS or oils). I also have sleep apnea. After extensive research, I basically have figured it out on my own...

Fourteen Years ago, I stopped eating Processed foods like ( dairy, gluten, gmo, grains, Junk snacks, nightshades, soda sugar, sugar addictive's and sugar alcohols. It took months, but I did it. I educated myself, and I am a huge label reader on food products. In my own personal opinion, I feel Process Foods causes a lot of health problems. I went to eating Organic, but I still read ingredients on it too.

When I was studying in 8th/9th grade , after having a heavy lunch,I had a nap. And all of a sudden,I woke up gasping for breath and trying to cough out the regurgitation. Until recently I didn’t know it was acid reflux…..I’m scared of laying down after eating something.

I hope someone sees this and can help me… I’ve had acid reflux in the last few years, and I’m sure it started with stress. Then it kind of went away and I started coughing at night, sometimes almost strangling out of a sound sleep. I have been literally exhausted for the last two months which is adding to stress. Not only am I not getting enough sleep I have been choking on water, food, sometimes it seems like I choke on air. I cannot live like this. What can I do to help myself without running to a doctor? I have started using bicarbonate of soda and alkaline water sprays into my sinuses for the post nasal drip and am losing weight- mainly because I’m afraid to eat anything. I’ve choked in restaurants, in grocery stores and at home while eating a meal. This is rough 🥺

I’m 39, active and healthy. I had this issue creep up on me and wasn’t sure how to approach it. ENT or GI Doc? Is this an allergic reaction to food/drink? Am I being exposed to something harmful at work? Here’s what my symptoms look like: Episodic. Could be daily or weekly. Random feeling of pressure in stomach/abdomen. Always regular, never constipated. Usually symptoms begin in the late afternoon or evening. Never in the morning. Worst when sitting, better when standing, best when lying down. Sometimes symptoms begin on empty stomach, sometimes 1-3 hours after a meal. Sometimes consuming a meal would actually help subdue the symptoms if they already began…. Relief of pressure by burp or just involuntary relaxation of stomach/esophagus without trying or with positional change. Then, almost instantaneously, tightness in throat. Like instant dryness/tension/swelling with quick buildup of mucus. Always incessant throat clearing, sometimes globus. Coughing. Asthma-like reaction with variable degree of chest tightening. Sometimes tightness in my back between shoulder blades. Then the sinuses. Complete shutdown and closure. Sometimes burning/stinging. Never any heartburn or feeling of liquid acid in my throat or elsewhere. It is almost gaseous. Symptoms can last for hours or even days. These symptoms started slowly many months ago and gradually progressed in intensity and regularity. In an instant, I will feel like I’ve gone from running on 8 pistons to 4. It can wreck my day. I am nearly certain that I’m experiencing a reaction to pepsin rising from the stomach to places that it shouldn’t be. If the onset of symptoms cannot be prevented, the pepsin needs to be neutralized and washed out. Here are some suggestions if this applies to you: Neti pot will save me if I can address the symptoms in time, as they’re starting. I also pay attention to internal stomach pressure and take OTC gas medication after meals. This, I believe, keeps pressure off of the LES so the pepsin doesn’t escape the stomach via LES. The other game changer is just a baking soda and water solution to gargle. It will save you when the symptoms set in. I wish everyone luck with this. I don’t believe in PPIs as a magic wand. The journey to figure out whether or not this was allergy/exposure related was extremely difficult. As a funny aside, I am a cop. I was wondering if my pepper spray was leaking and stopped carrying it on my duty belt. Of course I drink a lot of coffee late at night to get me though my shifts. Compression from my ballistic vest isn’t helping, either. Meal management, positional changes (less sitting, pressure on stomach) spice/caffeine/acidic food & drink avoidance should help.

Slightly blood with throat clearing in the morning

I've suffered for 5 years with LPR. Have GI, ENT and Allergist involved but they prefer to treat through meds. Some diet, exercise and lifestyle modifications are helpful but substantial relief of symptoms is elusive. I need to travel to a major med facility for more comprehensive testing beyond upper GI and ENT scopes. PPI's, supplements, gargles, and You Tube advice etc. don't provide consistent day-to-day relief. Good luck, and thanks for your channel.

ppi does not work

YESSSS :D HE SAID EXCALY WHAT I AM HAVING :D TROUBLE AFTER EATING AND LAY DOWN. without eating no problem. but even when you not eat laying down may give you trouble

what if it's a stomach acid issue? what can come from low stomach acid? Isn't there a connection between low stomach acid and the release of bile/ closure of the sphincter?

I found this to be disappointing. The vast majority of Acid Reflux patients suffer from low acid in the stomach which causes the lower esophageal sphincter to not close completely. Inhibiting acid production is like putting out a fire with gasoline. Pharmaceutical inhibitors are not the answer. Many people get complete relief by simply consuming a couple of table spoons of Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass of water every day. This brings the acid in the stomach high enough to cause the sphincter to close thus preventing any reflux.

The sad part is the food triggers 😢

I constantly have a burning tongue and a lump in my throat after eating.

Mine turned out to be a neurological disorder, and going on an anti depressant really turned my LPR around. They also did a swallow study on me, and found that I have Esophogeal Dysmotility Disorder.

Could be vagus nerve

I have constant clearing my throat. I have phlegm in back of my throat. I have also itchy like scratchy feeling with cough. Does it acid reflux?

I’m afraid it’s gone end up esophagus cancer I’ve been dealing with for almost a year

A cup of rooibos tea helps me keep the phlegmmies away after a meal.

Low stomach acid. If you have a burning in your stomach when empty get tested for H. Pylori. If you have H. Pylori get this solved first if no H. Pylori then get HCL with Pepsin supplement. Start with low doses. This saved me from major acid reflux, SIBO and candida overgrowth issues. All my health issue started because I drank too much fluids with my meals that diluted my stomach acid and cause dysbiosis. Be safe everyone.

its the ears i ALWAYS get the trouble with..........

Take maximum recommended dose of magnesium glycinate and zinc L carnosine daily for 2 months

Chest pressure and bteath in problem is main problem for me😢

PPIs?? Really?

Went to top gastroenterologist for endoscopy and acid reflux monitoring. Reason because he does TIF surgery . Test show I have start of Barrett's esophagus at lower part of esophagus but says the test show I dont have reflux. Tells me I'm not a good candidate for surgery. Tells me to go see ENT which gives me an appointment in 5+ months. What a joke the medical system is!

PPI’s Don’t work for most people with LPR. This is a fact. They can help a tiny bit in the beginning but they do not help long-term at all and come with a myriad of horrible side effects

That's me

Having you as my Dr Emovon on RU-vid is also a positivity that I don't really have to bother about any sickness or virus, because your herbal medication of bad breath has shown not only me but the world how good your products are and I' I'll keep recommending you, thank you for curing me from bad breath and acid reflux.

Have acid reflux problems, drink every day fresh coconut water.

please add script with video

PPI H2 blockers are not any good solution Best and no cost solution for LPR is to tummy breathing. Don't try to correct your fatty tummy by holding it back all the time. Just allow it to expand and protrude. This will stop your hiatal hernia and reflux. Including LPR Then if you face burning sensation, do a lot of long breathing and you get the result in seconds as the oxygen level goes higher making the blood a bit alkaline which will neutralise your HCL and pepsin from throat which actually burns your tissues and vocal chord. I am not a doctor, but I would say, don't listen to a doctor who advices antcids for digestion problem which is actually a poor liver and pancreatic problem and whan you need is to increase the HCL and other enzymes. Apple cider vinegar is a cure for a ie reflux if used after meal for one to two months.

Even when everyone thought there is no cure, I’m still surprised how your medicine cured me Dr.Emovon on RU-vid I just pray you stay safe out there everyday because the bad breath and acid reflux patients needs you more than ever. Thank you for coming to my aid, you’re a great doctor. #dremovon.🇺🇸
