Conclusion:
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study describing lockdown influence on diet habits and stress of patient with LPR disease. The diet habits were improved or unchanged in most cases, while stress level was increased in one third of patients. Patients with a high level of stress related to the pandemic/lockdown situation reported high reflux symptom score. The management of stress during the lockdown and pandemic periods is an important issue in LPR patients and need future prospective controlled studies.
