I stopped using Protonix or Nexium because it was helping my LPR. Instead I use an OTC acid med which is lower in strength but it works, I feel much better than before. My sinuses feel 100% better each day, the remaining sinusitis issues I had get better daily. I still take a OTC sinus pill everyday but it's because the office I work in is dusty but that's been it. No nasal steriods, or all the other crasy stuff I was on. My bad breath is so much better I think/hope in two more weeks that it's be a thing of the past.
I actually felt worse on Protonix it made my reflux seem worse but I think that was just me, you should continue if you feel better. My throat is healing I've been using Aloe Vera juice 2-3 times a day. I still stay away from chocolate and coffee but I drink Tea again without any complaints. The LPR is still so unpredictable though so I plan to go with the surgery all the same.;)
