I followed Dr. Koufman’s advice in her 2 acid reflux books. It had no impact at all on my acid reflux. I consulted a nutritionist who gave completely different advice and was cured.

In reply to See. That's a good start See. Usually a gastroenterologist or even sometimes an ENT can help diagnose LPR though of course there is no guarantee as LPR is still not quite well understood my the majority of doctors. A bariatric doctor helps with obesity - for some people with acid reflux and obesity can be correlated due to the extra weight particularly around the stomach area which can increase pressure on the LES valve above the stomach which in turn can lead to acid reflux symptoms.

Going to buy book. I am following your plan now but many foods I don’t like so looking for a few more options.
What type of doctors are actually diagnosing LPR? My friend had same symptoms as I and got nowhere until some coworker recommended a specific bariatric doc. She had a hiatal hernia and ended up getting fundoplication and feels so much better now.

In reply to Melissa. I don't know them of the top of my head but I remember honey being one of them because it falls below the pH 5 which reactivates pepsin more so in the throat which is the main cause for LPR in the first place!

Hey just wondering which foods in the healing phase are to be avoided even though they are recommended in Dr Koufman’s book. I was diagnosed with LPR yesterday. I have been having ear pain and ringing in the ears as well. I hope diet change will help with that and that ear damage isn’t permanent! I need to start the healing process asap.
