I was recently diagnosed with LPR, too. What a shock! I mourned for two days over having to give up many of the foods I loved. Now I have been on Prilosec PPI for six months and am doing great. I thought I had celiac disease for over 30 years but come to find out, the pain was from IBS. Good to be able to be able to eat bread again! So there's the tradeoff. No more chili peppers BUT bread instead.
