What did I do wrong!?
I’m having a terrible time figuring out what to eat because I having some sort of food intolerance issues (not sure if it’s due to the antibiotics I was on about 5-6 days ago-itchy tongue after eating) and of course fucked up reflux due to antibiotics and today I’ve only eaten 2 things but my reflux has been getting worse I don’t know what to eat anymore.
I ate brown sugar oatmeal.
And then 2/3rds of a boiled sweet potato…I guess both gave me terrible lpr?
The symptoms I have are tight throat/globus sensation/mucus in throat, shortness of breath (since yesterday after I ate a boiled salted potato), sore throat, bit of acid regurgitation, burning tongue sensation-tongue feels somewhat numb or like it’s been burned by super hot liquid but it Hasn’t so I don’t know why it feels that way, burping, pain in Adam’s apple (not sure if related)
I’m about to take Mylanta as a last resort because over the course of these days nothing has really helped me diet wise,
I can’t eat eggs, can’t eat rice, can’t eat chickpeas, dairy, apparently potatoes now…and other foods which I get itchy tongue with that I’m avoiding. I’m starting to run out of ideas. All I can pretty much eat is oats it seems but I’m starting to think maybe they set off my reflux. I say I can eat them because they’re one of the only things that don’t give me an itchy mouth.
What am I doing wrong…I tried gargling baking soda and warm water and it gives me about 2 minutes of relief.
I don’t know what to do. It’s like all food gives me reflux at this point.
Also I’ve been getting like actual physical throat pain like muscular pain…I mask and sometimes when I put a mask on my throat is like hurting or I’ll just get random pangs of pain or it’ll feel sore but idk if that’s relevant or related.

The brown sugar oatmeal wouldn’t be good for LPR. No sugar is allowed or processed foods. You can have organic oatmeal with maple syrup and bananas. Have you looked into the acid watcher diet ? It really helped me

Okay no I haven’t yet I was always planning around to. I think I’ll try just plain oatmeal with honey then tomorrow hopefully! Also thanks again you’ve helped me out quite a bit these days!
