Do you also have silent reflux (Laryngopharyngeal reflux - LPR) ?

I've noticed I've developed silent reflux at the same time as my other B12 symptoms worsened. I am trying to make my case to my GP, so trying to understand whether this symptom is a common one.

I'd appreciate to understand if others with B12 deficiency are going through the same.

Feel free to share should you have GERD instead of silent reflux.

Erm I get GERD (sorry used abbreviation) which apparently LPR is another name for it - regurgitation, difficultly swallowing.

Thanks for your message Narwhal10 ! This goes a bit into the differences between the two (GERD and silent reflux): medicalnewstoday.com/articl...

Have you been diagnosed with GERD by a doctor?

The link is very interesting - thank you.

Yes I have LPR (not GERD as I have no acid being a PA sufferer). Currently using Gaviscon Advance and waiting to get appointment
