Rebel-
you just substantiated what I strongly suspect contributed to my LPR/Reflux/gastritis/etc., and that is ibuprofen use, for back pain over the last year or so. I also took Aleve which is even stronger. I didn't take as much as you did, but enough to do damage and cause the reflux, as well as bleeding internal hemmorroids :blob_fire
There should be a warning label on NSAIDs --much more than what is --it could be this what is contributing to so many of us with reflux and gastritis.
I really believe it.
I also took 6 weeks of PT..
I didn't get burping till AFTER dx'd with reflux/LPR and it only happens sometimes when drinking certain things.
I think there's a lot to be said for the ibu usage and GERD/LPR/Reflux in general.
As far as healing, that's another whole thing. Certain things I've tried have helped me but I'm not sure of ever being cured completely. Just have to keep trying to keep symptoms in check, and live one day at a time.
best wishes to all for an acid free day.
