i been feeling lately, i started to burp all day it is lil bit annoyng, so maybe it has to be whit LPR or bad Diggestion or something that i eat make that reaction of burps

I used to go to the gym a lot and eat healthy. Since 2023, I've had a slight I wouldn't call it depression, but definitely a lack of motivation that made me lose the desire for a healthy lifestyle. I gave in to junk food, it's true, I messed up. I ate McDonald's, I became addicted to Monster and Red Bull, and I ate spicy food and a lot of junk food until the end of 2025 when my acid reflux problems started, and I didn't know what was causing them. I thought I had asthma; my throat felt sore and like something was stuck, and I even had back and chest pain for a while. The doctors prescribed PPIs. My question is that I see my family, friends, and random people smoking, literally intoxicated whit alcohol and eating junk food with sauce, and I wonder if this is genetic or self-inflicted i even saw a YouTuber who said it was all because of stress. That's my big question .Are you provoking it yourself, or is something else playing a role?

• The goal of the program is to let your esophagus heal with a strict diet. Unless you have other other comorbidities, you will be able to return to your normal diet once everything's fully healed. Do not get on PPIs, as studies have shown that PPIs have no effect on LPR.
• Duration: Three-week to three-month program, then reintroduce everything slowly.
• With LPR, it is imperative to sleep with a quiet and empty stomach. The ways to achieve this:
  • Fasting: 16:8 with frontloading the meals. Avoid making dinner the heaviest meal. Stop by 4pm
  • Do not overeat. Have small, frequent meals
  • Low acid diet. Avoid major GI triggers (alcohol, caffeine, onions, chocolate, citrus, tomatoes, soda, mint, etc.)
    • Nothing under pH 5
    • Purchase pH paper to test
  • Sleeping elevated, at least 7”
• Remedies
  • Famotidine a.k.a. Pepcid
    • 20mg first thing in the morning and before dinner
    • 40mg before bed
  • Sodium alginate in the form of Gaviscon Advance Aniseed or Reflux Gourmet
    • After dinner and before bed
    • Before working out
  • Alkaline water. Only alkaline water with a pH 8.8+ can deactivate pepsin. Pepsin damages the esophagus
    • Essentia uses sodium bicarbonate so may be abrasive to the throat if you're dealing with throat pain or dysphagia. Look for a pH 8.8+ alternative
  • Chewing gum or sucking on candy after meals. Saliva is a natural digestive enzyme
  • For sore or hoarse throat, spritz alkaline water into the throat while inhaling. Swallowing doesn’t give access to those areas
  • Chamomille tea helps with fasting and soothes digestion

 

 

Sending everyone lots of positive energy — you can get through this ✊

There are stories of people being cured of always and always the GERD, but I don't think I've seen anyone claim to have been cured of LPR, or at least not yet. If anyone has been cured, please share. And to think that LPR is rare and was only discovered by Dr. Kufman about damn 10 years ago, it's a new discovery. I think That's why many doctors don't specialize in this area. Most people don't come up with a specific solution and it's all just theories. maybe it its cronic and treatable maybe not heal it completely but change your life to at least be in decent health to survive

Pepsin, a stomach enzyme for digesting protein, causes Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) symptoms by escaping the stomach and adhering to throat, sinus, and airway tissues. When activated by acid (low pH), pepsin damages these delicate cells, causing inflammation and symptoms like chronic cough, hoarseness, throat clearing, and potential long-term tissue damage.

My theory is that every every food snack or drink even if its a little bit activates pepsin who is the MAIN Damager in all of this. you literally have to struggle eating barely nothing for a long period of time. I also think that PPis dont do shit. not dinner. yes do the clasic tricks like uping your bed etc etc. Alkaline water nothing that is trigger to pepsin. even make a Liquid diet if its neccesary. no quick fixes.

edit . yes i know that you need to eat but small portions and not acidic

this is my opinion If you don't agree, I understand, just stay kind. Nothing personal, it's just a thought. Do what you want and eat what you like, or take inhibitors idgaf im just sayng

Most of the days i feel my sinus Blocked or Inflamed. They mention that it may be a direct cause of LPR. main sympthoms. But im not shure about it. its difficult to live havin Rhinitis or sinusitis 24 7. i already changed my whole diet.

I noticed when i eat Beef or Pork i Have a flare and Nasal drip is Beef bad for LPR or what
