Hey everyone, so I saw an ENT today and he did a nasendoscopy which in his clinic notes he said:

"On examination, I can see no abnormality in your oropharynx, I can feel no abnormality in your neck, and with my flexible Nas-endoscope, I've got a clear view of a normal upper aerodigestive tract. I may be able to see some thickening of your interarytenoid area, but it's very close to being an entirely normal examination."

Do people think this means I DON'T have LPR? Obviously, I don't necessarily want anything to be wrong but this seems to point towards a nerve problem as I have constant globus and burning/tight throat. Not sure what to do next. I tried asking him about nerve damage but he said 'the throat doesn't really get neuralgia problems like other parts of the body' which just seems wrong?

Pretty down about the findings.

Hey, I saw a gastro today as I've been having issues with reflux for the past year. He has suggested doing a SIBO breath test, which was something I wasn't really expecting as I don't feel like I have much symptom alignment from what I've read about it? What are your predominant symptoms with SIBO? I do get nausea (but that's a fairly common acid reflux symptom) but no bloating at all, no excess gas or abdominal pain and bowel movements are generally normal. Does this sound like SIBO to you? Would love to know people's experiences.

Thanks!
