Intersting, thanks for sharing! For me it's also better a few days, than worse a few days, and I can't figure out why. Does not seem directly correlated to food or alcohol (sometimes I drink a few beer and feel great the next few days, and then I don't drink alcohol for a week and it gets worse). I also cut out coffee for 2 months and did not see any effect. I eat plant-based and mostly cook at home, not much fatty foods.

For how long did you have the sore throat in total, do you remember?

Around 6 months. I didn't experience a very direct correlation with food either. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure why it went away, I just know that I kept tweaking things until it did. One thing I also tried was changing my sleep position, which affects silent reflux. As with the food, not sure if this had a role in the remission.

Some people suggest an allergy component. The seasons changed and other allergies improved. The throat got better roughly at the same time as the allergies, but could be a coincidence. We know so little about our bodies...

Thanks! Yes, so hard to say how things are correlated... Interestingly, my throat has been feeling better the last few days. Anyways, I'll keep trying stuff, your comments were already very helpful. Thank you, again!
