This is simply what helped my LPR (Laryngopharyngeal reflux) calm down — not medical advice, not a rulebook, just sharing in case it gives someone hope.
During my healing phase, I kept things very simple.
Main foods (most meals):
• Beef — ribeye, sirloin, chuck roast, ground beef (this was my base)
• Steak seemed easiest on my throat and digestion
Also included:
• Chicken — thighs, drumsticks, wings (plain, simply cooked)
• Pork — chops and loin; I avoided processed meats early on
• Eggs (when tolerated)
• Fish occasionally — salmon, sardines, white fish
Drinks:
• Water only (room temp or warm)
• Electrolytes if needed — unflavored or homemade; no citrus, sweeteners, or sugar
• No coffee, tea, alcohol, or flavored drinks during healing
What I avoided at first:
• Plant foods (vegetables, fruit, grains, beans)
• Sugar and sweeteners
• Processed meats with spices/sugars
• Sauces or seasonings beyond salt — I used salt as my only seasoning
Why I kept it simple (my personal reasoning):
Less fermentation → less gas → less abdominal pressure.
Less pressure seemed to mean less reflux mist and less throat irritation for me.
I don’t see this as forever or one-size-fits-all. Everyone’s body is different. This was just a temporary reset that seemed to give my throat a calm window to heal.
If someone feels stuck, you could consider trying something like this for about 30 days as an experiment — not a forever diet, just a short healing window to see how your body responds.

The very worst thing for reflux, Hands down is stress.!!!!

TV is too loud and causes reflux. Priceless. So true … correlation doesn’t cause causation.

This gives hope. My reflux started almost 3 years ago, after a mild case of covid that seemed to attack the stomach/intestines. No biggie. 3 days of nausea and some vomiting but I've had the real flu before and covid was a walk in the park on a chilly day. But the coughing started, and NEVER ENDED. And acid indigestion every night. Cough so bad that I threw up...nothing but bile because I was not eating from 3 pm on. Like you I've been trying everything...its almost superstitious. Had lemon in my tea...uh oh that did it. Had chinese food? Nope that made it "worse", sleep upright and have neck cramps. Have my "alkaline/acid" food chart pasted in the kitchen. Got diagnosis of reflux, esophagitis and hiatal hernia and told to take 80 MG of PPI every day. Not worth it for me. Quit the PPIs. Cough has never ended. Will watch more of your channel to see what else I can do, but this is a real pain.

The tricky thing about food is that some tiny, tiny, bits of residue could still be in your stomach from 2 to 3 to 5 days before the reflux.. we are talking about microscopic food particles --- extremely tiny.. so, it is almost impossible to discover the trigger foods.... food particles overlap for days..

Thank you. Was diagnosed with erosive GERD and ulcers on my esophagus and felt worse on PPI. Really trying to dig and find what’s going on and doctors are no help

never ac reflux for me but gas reflux, AKA, belching. Stopped fats, but to no avail. What could it be, especially, on an empty gastric?

@ShaggyT66 9 months ago

I've just found your channel today.
I've developed bloating the last few weeks but in the last 2 days I've had really sharp pain I think it's possibly gall bladder but I have developed a bad reflux as well as extra bloating
I'm scared to eat anything.🙄

I feel like l'm falling.
I was diagnosed with bile reflux 2 weeks ago but 9 months ago had a surgery due to ulcer but after then life was never the same, I never have a whole month of free pain, free burning, free back pain.
Until 2 weeks ago I decided to go for a endoscopy to check what's really going on if I had developed another ulcer, if the previous one was healed or something else was happening.
And the diagnosis were that I have Chronic superficial gastritis with bile reflux (medium dose)
Old scars of the duodenal bulb

They gave me some pills to take for 2 weeks the first week taking it I felt little better but now couple days to complete two weeks I still feel as bad as I was. I can't sit, sleep.
My back burns, my stomach burns, I feel nauseous.
And to add l've been eating small portions and multiple times a day about 5.
And don't eat anything 3 hours before bed, the food l've been eating it's all boiled, nothing spicy, nothing fried.
Just chicken and turkey breast, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, bananas.

I have Grade 4 esophagitis, and Barrett’s. There were eosinophils in my last biopsy. I asked my gastroenterologist if I should try an elimination diet. He told me that changing my diet wouldn’t help!
