Recently Diagnosed "Silent Reflux" (LRD) help?
So after years of issues with sinus infections, asthma symptoms, post nasal drip and cough, I was finally diagnosed with LRD, or silent reflux, and the basic thing I was told is that my diet is 'fine'... I rarely eat most triggers, but that my esophagus is not closing right and thus the trouble. I experience no pain unless it starts to trigger an infection, just a hoarse voice, constant sniffles and a cough when it gets worse.I was put on Ranitadine first, and reacted horribly to it, stomach pains so bad I was curled up and sobbing, then put on Nexium, which worked wonderfully, but 6 weeks later started to experience swelling in my ankles/hands, and constant burping, both of which stopped when I stopped the Nexium, but then now I am getting the LRD symptoms again.
A real way to treat this and help my throat heal so in the long term the esophagus can heal and stop the acid from coming up would be great, I am happy to know what is wrong, but now I want to get better.
Thanks
Oh and I am a 30yr female, with radiation induced hypothyroidism due to uncontrolled Graves Hyperthryoidism when I was 20. I do have mild asthma and allergies to mold/mildew and class 4 allergies to latex and cinnamon.
I have had these symptoms since I was 18.
Thank you so much for any suggestions

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Try Joe de Livera therapy for Gerd first and get that under control.
Then you could go onto other treatment for the rest.
When you have a lot of sinus drip, etc it actually drips down
the back throat sinus passages and then you swallow and it
gets into the stomach and causes acidity. This info is from
our ENT dr. You cannot take the Nexium etc for long bc it
has side effects ( especially on bones)
Go over to Joes website- www.joedelivera .com and read
on about Gerd treatment.
Jello- you sound like you are usa- so to simplify what you need
to order-
you can order The Arnica 30c LIQUID on this site from 3 suppliers.
You can get the Nat phos cell salt from Whole Foods or health
stores ( Hylands brand)
You can order the Nat phos cell salt from Vitacost online-
Cell salts are in a tablet form like aspirin.

So then it is causing a cycle by triggering the post nasal (I get this after a small 'episode') and then worse. Ick :(
I will look at that and give it a try, hopefully it works, thank you.

I think the allergies cause the post nasal drip,
which then can cause the acid reflux.
At least doing the nat phos/arnica you can start to
control the acid reflux and that will free up energy
to help your immune system/allergies.
Your entire system needs help and this is a good start.

It is very likely that you suffer from Hyperacidity or Gastritis, aka GERD (Gastro Esophagal Reflux Disease) and I shall copy my default therapy that has helped hundreds of patients to overcome this disease for which doctors usually prescribe PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) drugs which are dangerous and can cause many other more serious problem when used in the long term.
You will hopefully discover that my therapy aka 'Joepathy' will help you within the hour after you have taken your first dose after a meal.
The remedies you will order are as follows:
Nat Phos 6x dose 3-4 tablets taken immediately after each of 2 meals.
This remedy accelerates the passage of food down the gut and prevents the formation of acid which would otherwise reflux causing GERD.
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
This remedy works to repair the damaged Esophagus which has metastasised to resemble the gut to deal with the Hcl refluxed into it causing severe distress. Arnica works with the Nat Phos to speedily cure the problem.
Please observe the following simple rules:
Do not eat large meals. Eat small meals but more often if you feel hungry. Do not drink more that a few sips of water after your meals. This is to prevent the further dilution of your gastric juice which can then reflux into your Esophagus which results in GERD.
It is important that you do not go to bed for at least 2 hours after dinner as food will take about this time to digest and it is best to stay awake and upright to enable your food to digest before going to bed.
No fatty food, alcohol, coffee, preserved meats like sausages, ham, bacon as they contain Saltpeter which will antidote the remedies listed immediately.
If you suffer from a stomach ache or you feel your stomach puffing up before a meal during the day between meals, this is usually due to hunger pains, caused by your gastric juices attacking the inner lining and the wall of your stomach. The simple remedy is to eat some food like a biscuit or a banana between meals to keep the gastric juice away from digesting the stomach wall which results in a stomach ache which in some cases can be acute.
You must drink at least 3 liters of liquids, preferably water daily and you must also exercise for at least half hour daily. It is important to sweat it out as this is all part of my therapy to overcome GERD.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in a 5ml Liquid Alcohol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done every time before sipping a capful of the bottle twice daily.
It is understood that the patient will stop all other drugs which s/he may be taking for this ailment.
Do not use Coffee, Cola beverages, preserved foods like sausages, ham and bacon as they contain Saltpeter.

I was able to get everything this morning at our local health store. I just am also taking Graphites 30ch, 5 pellets, three times a day for scar healing, which is working great. Do I need to wait until I finish that treatment before starting this one, I am very keen to start now.

I am taking the graphites, which is working great. I had a two and a half inch incision on my thigh, and because the area is firm and not as flexible as I am thin, they warned me of keloids and bad scarring. Since taking the graphites it is healing so perfectly smooth I am amazed, I have never seen a scar so smooth.
