LPR stands for laryngopharyngeal reflux or "reflux of the voicebox."
Here are some helpful dietary/lifestyle tips to help you treat LPR:
1. Avoid spicy food
2. Limit chocolate and caffeine consumption.
3. Avoid citrus fruits including grapefruit and oranges.
4. Decrease intake of tomatoes including tomato sauce and pizza.
5. Avoid eating 3 hours prior to sleeping.
6. Elevate the head of your bed. The easiest way to do this is to purchase a 6 inch wedge from a surgical supply store. The highest portion should go by the "head" side of the bed. Note: extra pillows do not work!
