What condition of the upper gastrointestinal tract can result in laryngitis?

That condition is called as GERD or gastro-esophageal reflux disease. You have no anatomical spincture to prevent the back flow of stomach contents into esophagus. But then the physiological spincture is present to prevent such back flow. Some times this spincture fails and the contents of the stomach may come up. This happens during sleep, when you are in horizontal position and not awake to prevent the spill in the larynx. Such spill make you to get up, out of sleep suddenly and may cause laryngitis.
