So I know I have LPR just based on symptoms I have. My dentist pretty much confirmed it. Help?

Long story short - I went to my dentist to see about some deep pits in my back molars. He then told me I have GERD and that the acid was eroding my teeth. So that made sense because my throat ALWAYS hurt when I woke up, I have super bad post nasal drip, and toward the end of my nail I’m the coffin I was having difficulty drinking standard reverse osmosis water and having the regurgitation of food once a day.

Now I have had CONSTANT sore throat every time I woke up for about 5-6 years now. I always chalked it up to my muscle tension dysphonia I have.

I do NOT have money to go to a doctor to get diagnosed but I know I have LPR because I just get acid reflux throughout the night and I also feel a lot better when eating low acid and drinking alkaline water (homemade and store bought). I also don’t really get heartburn and I know that’s a common telltale between the two.

With all of that said I wanted to ask how long it took you personally to heal fully and how long have you suffered from LPR? Did you allow yourself any cheat meals/foods?
