Have you changed your diet. You know , no chocolate, caffeine, tomatoes, alcohol , citrus fruits etc?
Thankyou for all of your kind advice.
I was told by ENT using endoscopy that I had LPR; prescribed ppi’s that worsened the condition.
Was then tested for SIBO (simple breath test) and tested positive. I would suggest getting tested for SIBO before doing anything else. Both LPR andSIBO are gut health issues, but the treatment for both varies significantly.
I have osteoporosis and had started drinking a bottled water that has a ph of 8. I noticed my reflux drastically decreased with just this simple action.
For LPR take Gaviscon Plus from Amazon. It has algae and anise. It covers your throat and chest so acid does not damage them..
Do you also have a lot of mucus in your chest and throat? I do while sleeping at nighr. Nothing helps i have to stop eating and drinking water five hours before going to bed. I have a wedge too, but does not help with mucua.
Wow. So many things to try and to eliminate. I guess you have to keep at that for a while to see any results. I heard of gaviscon from Dr Jamie Koufman. She says that’s better than ppis.
Don’t drink white vinegar in water. Very acidic on the throat and esophagus. Bad advice.
I don't mean to laugh, but I have the same issue. I spend several times during the night hoisting myself back up to the head of the bed. I believe the only answer is to have an electric bed with not only head elevation, but also knee elevation which helps the slide down process. Or some nights I sleep in my lazy- boy chair. I am a side sleeper, so it is difficult .You can buy a foam piece to put under your knees also.
Hi, I recommend following the dietary guidelines outlined in Jamie Koufman's book "Dr. Koufman's Acid Reflux Diet" . However, I suggest reading her first book, "Dropping Acid: The Reflux Diet Cookbook & Cure," before starting. This book delves into the scientific aspects of reflux and offers a plethora of interesting and useful recipes that may aid in managing your reflux.
Additionally, there is a dedicated website, refluxgate.com, entirely focused on treating reflux through dietary changes and other methods. I hope you find this information helpful!

Not so sure about any homeopathic remedy but try and drink a lot of ph balanced water ( essentia, figi). Some people say probiotics help .
