I found a website called Reflux Doc LPR on u tube. Make a solution of alkaline water and baking soda and spray into throat at you inhale. Check it out on utube, I did this yesterday and for me seemed to help heartburn and sore irritated throat. Also juicing celery 4 stalks and drinking first thing in the morning. Day 2 of this and I think a little better. May not be a silver bullet, but something.
Thanks
I am afraid that may be the case. Nothing seems to be helping. What are the treatment options for this. I am desperately seeking relief of some type. My life is a living hell.
Did you read the article about bile reflux:
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/bile-reflux/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20370121
The article has some suggestions, discuss it with your doctor.
I wonder if Gaviscon would help you (until you find another long-term relief)? Have you tried that? It works well with acid reflux to make you feel better by putting a block at the top of the stomach to prevent it from coming up via the esophagus.
I will give it a try. Thanks
I have your exact symptoms, and it is all out suffering, do you have any idea on how to treat this or who to see? I am even thinking of doing stem cell treatments, that will reset my stomach lining, so horrible.
I have no success in getting off amezrapole really frustrated and feel I canno live this way, any ideas?
I have GERD plus Hiatal hernia. I Took esomeprazole/Nexium for more than 20 years. It did help, but recently My conditions worsened. I started experience nausea. Endoscopy showed inflammation. Doctor suggested another medication that did not improve my condition. My diet was not strict, maybe it is the reason. Trying to do everything the right way, but acid reflux do not go away for several days. Any suggestion?
Thanks
Are you sure you have GERD? Google LPR and see if that is what you may have. Treatment is different if you have LPR.
I have GERD and H.H. too. I am seeing a Naturopathic Doctor. She will be testing for food sensitivities and H. Pylori. In the meantime, I am chewing 2 DGL tablets 20 mins before meals. I drink 1 cup of bone broth in the morn, on an empty stomach, and I do an exercise in the morn to get my h.h. down (easy to find on internet). I bought a water filter jug that makes my water more alkaline, and I am drinking low acid coffee now. I have gone from 4 to 2 cups a day so far. I drink marshmallow root, slippery elm (yuck), and chamomile tea and try to drink 8-9 cups of water per day. I don’t have dairy (except butter) and very little bread/wheat and def nothing acidic. I’m trying to heal my stomach so I can wean off PPI’s since I’ve been on them for years. Trying to alternate PPI’s one day and H2 blockers the next. I’m still doing some things I shouldn’t (snack at night) so I don’t know but I just want to enjoy my life without pain. If this doesn’t work, I’m wondering if surgery to fix a hiatal hernia would be the answer. I don’t know if it’s as easy as wanting it or if it has be a certain size and what is the success rate. I’ve also found some YouTube videos and do some exercises that are supposed to help. PPI’s do help but they are def not a miracle cure, they are less effective with time nor should we be on them indefinitely. Anyway, that’s what I’m doing.
