Laryngopharyngeal Reflux

[judy]

I also have GERD. I have changed my diet, but can still have coffee, tomatoes, chocolate, etc. I limit myself to two cups of coffee/day now. I discovered that no sweeteners in the coffee help. (???) I think everybody's foods to avoid differ. I have been taking nexium for years for it.

It took 2 years for a diagnosis because I didn't have any heartburn, etc, symptoms. It was all in the throat.l I couldn't talk for long, which was bad for a teacher. I would be exhausted at the end of the day from trying to use my voice.

I would say a few weeks after starting the nexium, I was a different person. I hope your doctor diagnoses you easily, and that your symptoms disappear as fast!
