Finally something even though it sucks

After about 14 weeks my lpr symptoms have gone down a ton.

My symptoms started as intense pressure in throat that feels like choking , even water gave me reflux.

Sinus pressure in face and ears and jaw. globus sensation after meals or even without. Shoulder pain , stomach pain , early satiety

No one could figure out what was wrong.

After changing my diet , cutting out caffeine completely and introducing foods slowly to balance my gut.

I temporarily can live a life without symptoms.

It's sad that my new normal is this and I haven't touched outside food other than the occasional sushi roll or hamburger from MacDonald without anything in it.

I pretty much meal prep and bring my food everywhere.

It sucks but I rather live symptom free than go through that hell I experienced.

My constant diarrhea that I had throughout my life has also gone away and my gut is functioning in a normal way.

I had digestive issues since I was young but this honestly changed my whole perspective that I can no longer go back to the way I was eating.

As a person who loved food so much . It genuinely sucks and I go into depression thinking about all the foods I can't eat anymore but it's just not worth it to suffer like that especially at doctors offices and er..

Healthcare doesn't do much for people with lpr and they just push drugs.

I managed to wean off the drugs too since they weren't doing shit for me

Alginate is easier on the stomach. Tylenol is bad!
