Understanding Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR)
Do you constantly clear your throat, wake up hoarse, feel like something is stuck in your throat, or struggle with chronic coughing—but don’t have heartburn?
You may be experiencing Silent Reflux, also known as Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR).
Unlike traditional acid reflux, LPR often happens without heartburn. Instead, stomach acid and digestive enzymes irritate the throat and voice box, leading to frustrating symptoms that can impact everyday life.
Common Symptoms of LPR
✔ Chronic throat clearing
✔ Hoarseness or voice changes
✔ Chronic cough
✔ Postnasal drip sensation
✔ Sore or burning throat
✔ Feeling of a lump in the throat
✔ Difficulty swallowing
✔ Morning mucus
✔ Mild reflux or little/no heartburn
Foods That May Help Calm Silent Reflux
Many people improve symptoms by following a low-acid, anti-inflammatory food plan.
Helpful foods may include:
Lean Proteins:
Chicken, Turkey, fish, eggs (if tolerated)
Gentle Vegetables:
Zucchini, cucumbers, green beans, leafy greens, sweet potatoes
Low-Acid Fruits:
Banana, melon, pears, cooked apples
Soothing Foods:
Oatmeal, bone broth, herbal teas, chia, and warm soft foods
Reducing coffee, chocolate, fried foods, tomato sauces, spicy foods, carbonation, and eating too close to bedtime may also help reduce flare-ups.
Why Supplements Matter
Chronic reflux often needs more than food changes alone. The right supplement support may help soothe irritated tissues, support digestion, and reduce symptoms—but not every supplement works for every person.
That’s why a personalized approach matters.
