\r\n \r\n When the lower esophageal sphincter is not functioning properly, there is a back flow of stomach acid into the esophagus. This is the cause of laryngopharyngeal reflux. This may or may not be your problem. These things are hard to diagnose by you or people on a forum.
\n
\nBut there are things you can do to test this on your own. Eat smaller more frequent meals. This should releave pressure on the sphincter. And don\'t lie down right after you eat. Avoid citrus. Coffee and tea may be bad for you as well.
\n
\nSomething to try. Take unfiltered apple cider vinegar in a little water with your meal. One tablespoon with water in your coffee mug for example (or a little more than a cup). It has ascetic acid, but is later calming for the digestion. Make sure it has the "mother" for the enzyme action. There are many benefits to apple cider vinegar. This is actually the only vinegar that can be taken while on a Candida diet.\r\n

\r\nI already tried taking apple cider vinegar before every meal. It hasn\'t helped at all. I do not consume caffiene, citrus, chocolate, mints, peppers.
\r\n
\r\nIt does not work. I am going to try Prilosec.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n*Abdominal bloating/gas (this can be from chronic swallowing and clearing of my throat due to excessive post nasal drip)
\r\n
\r\n*general anxiety
\r\n
\r\n*sore throat (again, from chronically clearing my throat due to PND)
\r\n
\r\n*indigestion, probably from the mucus and reflux.\r\n

\r\n \r\n It\'s important that the basic diet is correct, as well as adding or eliminating particular things. You can eliminate all sorts of things or take particular foods as remedies but if the diet is not based around natural, nourishing foods then you will not be healthy.\r\n
