Is there a specific diet for LPR? (lemmy.zip)

So I gave had chronic post nasal drip and sore throats for the last three years. I’ve taken every allergy medication and inhaler there is, and had a septoplasty three weeks ago. However, none of it has seemed to heal my chronic cough and post nasal drip.

However, I was also diagnosed with LPR, or silent reflux, which might be contributing to some of my symptoms. I’ve heard some foods/diets can help, but I’m confused as to which ones, as most of them are labeled for GERD/acid reflux, but none specifically for LPR.

Does anybody know of any good diets/foods specifically for LPR? Thanks!

Once had a doc describe it as a form of GERD, so the same approach applies.
