There's no shortage of supplements claiming to "cure" reflux.
Rather than reviewing the marketing, I reviewed the ingredients.
Some have solid scientific support, particularly alginates. Others may provide additional benefit for selected patients. But no supplement replaces good lifestyle habits and individualized treatment.

One of the biggest lifestyle changes I discuss with patients isn't just what they eat—it's how they sleep.
A new 2026 study found an association between more severe laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) symptoms and poorer sleep quality. While this doesn't prove cause and effect, it supports what many patients already notice: poor sleep and reflux often make each other worse.
If you've been focusing only on diet, it may be worth paying closer attention to your sleep habits as well.

This weekend, during an LPR strategy session, a patient was surprised when I mentioned that I also experience laryngopharyngeal reflux.

Like many people, I know exactly which lifestyle factors trigger my symptoms: spicy foods, excess caffeine, late nights, and poor sleep.

That experience reminded me of an important truth: managing LPR isn't about being perfect. It's about recognizing your personal triggers and making consistent lifestyle choices.

The conversation also introduced me to an at-home pepsin test that is now available in the United States. I'm planning to evaluate it myself and share my experience.

A growing body of research suggests that chronic throat symptoms may sometimes persist because of laryngeal hypersensitivity, even after reflux has improved.
This does not mean symptoms are imagined. It means the nerves of the throat may remain overly sensitive after prolonged irritation.
Stress and anxiety can further amplify these symptoms, creating a cycle that can be difficult to break without addressing both the physical and neurologic components.

A patient recently shared something that I think many people with LPR can relate to.

After completing my reflux course, she experienced nearly a year of significant symptom improvement. Then, over time, some symptoms began to return.

Like many patients, her first thought was that a new supplement or medication might be responsible.

But after taking a closer look at her habits, she realized that some of her dietary triggers had slowly worked their way back into her routine.

This is one of the most important lessons I teach patients:

Reflux symptoms often return the same way they improve—gradually.

Most people are not derailed by a single meal. More often, it's the accumulation of small choices over weeks and months.

The good news is that once she recognized the pattern and returned to the habits that had helped her heal, she began noticing improvement again.

Success with LPR isn't about perfection. It's about consistency.

A 2021 systematic review found no strong connection between H. pylori and LPR. Diagnosis should focus on symptoms and pepsin.

06/09/2026

A 2021 study found salivary pepsin correlates with LPR symptoms and may help when pH probes aren’t accessible.

05/11/2026

LPR is one of the most frustrating conditions I treat, but lifestyle changes truly make a difference.

04/10/2026

LPR symptoms don’t all heal at the same time. Burning improves first, throat clearing next, and globus often last. Understanding the timeline helps patients stay consistent.
