Anyone have LPR?

[davos]

So I was diagnosed with this sh*t today at the ENT--official name: Laryngopharyngeal Reflux.  

 

Apparently I need to avoid alcohol, coffee, red meat, eggs, and cheese to name a few things for quite a bit.  I don't think I'll be able to do it haha. Anyone have to take sh*t they love out of their diet for medical purposes?

Never had that as a diagnosis but I have had a couple stomach ulcers in the past and the things I had to avoid were basically the same as what they told you. I didn't avoid them completely but mindfully cut back and took medicine. Eventually things got better but I am sure it would have healed quicker had I cut out the things they said.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking.  Cut down on it but don't take it out all together and it's not a permanent deal.  Apparently though I'm going to need to really watch it now because I also have Crohns Disease.  

 

The stuff that I just refuse to quit though is thai food, porterhouses, red wine, and beer haha

I am very familiar with Crohns. Terrible disease, Forget LPR, you need to watch what you eat because of that.

I've had it for about 7 years but my GE confirmed it pretty much slid into remission about 2 years back.  Occasionally get ab cramp flare ups but nothing ever that bad anymore which is good.

How much do you weigh and are your pants tight? I was at about a 38 inch waist and was diagnosed with GERD and mild Barrett's Esophagus, which scared the poo out of me because it's pre-cancerous. I got on a PPI and got in shape. I'm at a 33 inch waist now, my clothes fit, and my stress level dropped and on the follow up endoscopies, they couldn't find any trace of Barrett's and my GERD has subsided. I eat red meat occasionally, drink a good bit of red wine and beer and I'm fine other than a rare case of indigestion if I gorge myself or drink way too much. I was able to wean myself off of my medication and I feel great now. For me it was getting in shape, and eating less at each meal. I found eating less rice and bread helps me a lot as well. Good luck! Stomach and esophageal issues can be scary stuff.

Fortunately no. I do have a lot of food allergies though, including milk (cheese) and eggs. I guess you could say I take them out of my diet for medical purposes.

That is essentially my food pyramid.

 

 

Seriously though, glad you got a diagnosis are trying to deal with it.  I dont have restrictions like this but when I am trying to avoid food and bad habits I try to plan my work day so I dont even have time to go grab something.  Eat a couple of snacks in the middle of the day, (nuts, I would say cheese but its off the list so maybe a bar or fruit).

 

Hope you transition OK.
