PLEASE WATCH MY UPDATED VIDEO ON LPR & GERD HERE: ua-cam.com/video/9TVMcS42se0/v-deo.html MIXTURE: 250 ml (1 cup) of alkaline water 1/2 tbsp baking soda I recommend THESE bottles: amzn.to/3uy9xGY Also, I much prefer Betaine to ACV now. HERE ARE THE BETAINE PILLS I RECOMMEND Amazon.com Betaine HCL - amzn.to/3HY52sr Amazon.ca Betaine HCL - amzn.to/3SzjzBi I hope this video gives you hope! REALLY be mindful of your lifestyle choices (do you drink a lot of bubbly water? Do you chew your food well? Are you sensitive to any foods you eat?) because it could very likely be something you aren't considering that's causing you pain. Some of my biggest contributing factors were: eating portions that were too large, not chewing well enough, eating too close to bed, and consuming too much liquid with a meal. Also if you found the video helped and would like to support me you can do that here: www.buymeacoffee.com/sahdlife I put a lot of time and effort into my channel and really appreciate the support👊If I've helped you out please help me out! Every dollar helps a small creator like me.
The only think we have to do is gurgling baking soda or Do we have to drink?if so tell me about that please.can Betaine tablets be used as well? Please tell me.I have a chronic sore throat since my childhood.feel sour taste all the time 😢😢😢😢
Appreciate the comment. Glad you found the video! It's a really cool feeling knowing I've helped a lot of people get their lives back (or at least get on the right path).
Let me start by saying thank you sir. 😊 I'm a 38 yr old brick mason and I've been suffering for 6-7 years with LPR. I have never had heart burn., so when my throat started burning and hurting I went to an EMT and he told me acid reflux is doing it and take some ppi pills and you'll be fine. The ppis did nothing at all and I was suffering and in hell. I quit smoking after 13yrs, ate better, raised my bed. Nothing helped. So I started doing research and found out about how the medical world has failed patients on LPR and how it's eventually going to lead to cancer. I became depressed and just excepted my fate. After years i just got used to the pain day in and out. I was talked into going to a gastrointestinal dr. I tell him about my throat and LPR and he looks at me and says, "yh I think I've heard of that." My heart sank, I knew he wasn't going to help me. I then just hoped it would go away and continued my life learning to deal with the pain. That was until 3 days ago, when I found this video. I ran to the store bought the ingredients and squirted it in my throat while breathing and felt instant relief that I haven't had in years. I still had some burning in the back of my throat so the next day I tried it up my nose and I could have cried like a baby. The relief I felt I just can't explain. Ty so much for this video it has honestly changed my life!
Aww man, reading this just absolutely made my day. Thank you SO much for sharing that with me. I'm so glad I was able to help as I know how frustrating it is. As we get older hey you almost get used to pain... but it doesn't have to be that way. Good for you for hanging in there and looking for solutions. You are going to feel amazing again soon, I'm really happy for you and excited for your future! It feels good to feel good again eh??
So happy for you!! I pray you continue to experience relief! I almost choked 3 years ago! I have been fine for the last couple of years, but now all of a sudden I guess I'm experiencing a flare up...not fun! Trying to figure out why.
Did you have discomfort swallowing all the time especially dry swallow? I am in mental pain right now cos I have had throat issues for couple months but the ent gave the ok for throat and he said it might be gerd, well lo and behold a week later started having the liquid in my back of throat and my stomach gurgling etc. I tried drinking some baking soda but it just made me burp which is supposed to mean I don’t have low acid in my stomach.
I have been in and out of the Emergency room all week and also my PCP 3 days this week. My reflux is out of control. It is affecting my sinuses and giving me tinnitus. I have tried every ppi and lifestyle chage. No smoking no drinking. I'm healthy weight. I'm now on klonopin for the panic attacks the tinnitus is causing. I live with the tastes of acid always in my mouth and it sucks. I came across your vid and decided to gargle some baking soda and water and that Nast taste in my mouth and throat is now gone. I can not thank you enough for this video. I'm in tears and peace.
Oh that makes me so happy. Thank you for letting me know, and keep your spirits up. You will get through this and life will be good again. I know because it has for me. It's insane that things get that bad but our bodies are even more insane and how they can fix and adapt. If you ever need to brainstorm what else to try or just want to chat about the relief send me a message okay? I'm rooting for you!!
I hope you got better. Just wanted to say I had debilitating anxiety and panic attacks. You acrully don’t need any of the drugs. Anxiety is all rooted in your thoughts, 95% cured. No panic attacks.
@@Zackkrupppanic attacks are the worst. I got it in mid air. I had few drinks. Then after some time panic attack started. It was the worst time in my life and that too in mid air. My mum was with me. I didn’t want to frighten her. Luckily I survived. Actually just survived. Panic attack…just take a shower. Don’t think just do it.
You completely described my symptoms , its been two years i have a loud tinnitus , i never even heard the word tinnitus before I actually have it , it is the worst thing a human being can have , no one understands you and the torture you are going through, Did you try this remedy, how is your tinnitus now ?
Oh my gosh your symptoms sound just like mine! I also have sore throat and trouble swallowing at times. I'm not breathing well at night, and I really hope the baking soda helps eventually.
Over 33 years of LPR. I am an LPR champion. I was misdiagnosed with Post Nasal Drip for all these years until I diagnosed myself correctly 2 years ago.
Oof, I feel you on that one. Would you say you have fixed your problem? Or is it something you think you'll battle with for the rest of your life. What if anything is really helped you? I made a new video on the topic which I can't share because I'm on my mobile but I'd be curious to hear what you think about it... or what you have to add to it to help others
@@alexlabra1562 Sorry, I didn't get a notification from UA-cam about the replies before and just saw these messages. No, I haven't found any cure yet. But I have got clues on what might work to fix it. I have had malabsorption issue since birth. Most likely my body is not making sufficient stomach acid. Years ago, muscles around my navel shifted (this issue is called navel displacement although it is not medically acknowledged) This was when the muscles put abnormal pressure on my stomach and I ended up having LPR and IBS both. Due to weakness of muscles they didn't come back to the original position. So now I have started on Betaine HCL, and some other supplements and also doing yoga specifically to fix navel displacement. I am positive that this should fix my weak muscles and as soon as the abnormal pressure on my stomach is removed, LES should also close. In the meantime, I have given up dairy and citrus. I am experimenting with Itopride 150 mg daily. I am also taking Quercetin 400 mg twice daily. Overall, this has reduced my LPR symptoms by over 70% and that's a huge relief. I have done all of these within the last few weeks. I am not sure about Itopride's efficacy but the rest of the remedies are working well. Also I do Anulom Vilom Pranayama which is very helpful. If I can gradually increase it to 15 minutes twice a day, I think my LPR symptoms will reduce by over 90%.
This is first time ever I am writing a review on UA-cam video. I am very happy to share with you all that, this trick woks. I am suffering with LPR from past 3 months and multiple doctors gave me multiple antibiotics assuming it is throat infection. I did not get any relief. Finally some wise doctor told me this is due to LPR and put me on PPI tablets. I did not get any relief either...I began to search about it and found this very informative video. Following these steps, just in 2 days I got a relief from throat ache. I want to say a big Thank you!!
Your comment made my day! I'm so glad you found the video and happy to hear that you have found some relief. Hopefully you are on the right path to healing now and look forward to experiencing life once again!! 👊
I’m coming back to this video to say a huge THANK YOU!!! ❤ I was suffering from LPR for about 2 years after I acquired bronchitis in 2021. I visited many doctors, had X-rays, inhalers, medications and many more things thrown at me. I was so frustrated but started using this method in April of 2023 alongside Pepcid daily (my doctor said it was okay) and avoiding acidic foods. I can now say that my LPR was gone after 2 months of consistency!! I felt hopeless and now I’m so happy to live without coughing 24:7. God Bless 😊
Wow, reading comments like this is just the best. Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate it. It's such a constant form of suffering, I don't wish it on anyone. It still comes up in small doses here and there when my diet is crap or stress is high, but luckily now, like you, I am armed with the tools on how to heal myself. Good for you! Love to hear it.
Hey, how bad was your LPR? I tried using the bicarbonate of Soda and water spray but it hurts my throat. (My throat has tiny spots on it and lots of red patches)
I can’t eat anything from last 2 months am totally on liquid, like coconut water & watermelon juice, whenever I try to eat I feel choking sensation, I have change 7 doctors and also I have done endoscopy, CT-scan, barium swollow, but doctor said you have fungal infection. But now finally my last doctor said it’s happen bc.z of anxiety. Can you please help me. Thank you and god bless you
I have a newer video on the topic in the pinned comment you might want to watch. And yes, I was also made aware of anxiety and how much it affects the throat. For me, reading the Power of Now, and especially The Untethered Soul (which I reviewed in this channel) really launched me down a path toward healing. You should watch those videos on my channel and if they make sense to you, perhaps you might want to try a similar approach. Unfortunately there is no magic pill for you... you have to learn to accept your situation and do what you can to make it better. The good news is I believe you are on the right track, but you will need to be patient and work on yourself.
Lots of good content. Thank you. I instantly sought relief by talking teaspoons throughout the day of cream of tartar. It's mostly potassium. I think that's why your baking soda works. However cream of tartar is mostly potassium. I read somewhere we need 4500mgs of potassium, yet our diets rarely reach half that daily. 1tsp cream of tartar is about 450 mg. A banana is 300. A avocado is 5-650. Potassium creates HCl for digestion
Holy shit! 11 fucking years of not being able to breathe. And this worked in a day. Thank you. I am still having some blockage and some clearing of throat but a lot of it is in control now. I will continue to use this, hopefully I recover completely. I started using Betaine HCL a month ago which fixed by digestion (25+ years of suffering) I was (mis)diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps. Gave me corticosteroids which never did anything.
@@susanjatta1767 Not completely fixed. Still trying to find solution. What works rn is doing Neti with saline water in the morning and using corticosteroids immediately after that. I reduced the consumption of eggs which helped me a lot. It’s related to the diet.
Can you elaborate on the breathing problems? I’ve been feeling a weird sensation in my upper chest like it’s hard to breathe. Sometimes feels bubbly. Like chest congestion without the actual virus. Plus all the other symptoms of LPR. I’ve heard LPR described as airway reflux. And I feel like irs gotten into my bronchial space. Is this what you had? I also get short of breath after meals.
Not sure if you find my newer video on the topic but I highly recommend it is you get a moment. It prints a newer plan I think it's really effective! I know it can't be frustrating working with doctors sometimes. Hopefully you find a plan that makes sense and gives you hope!
@@TheSAHDLife I'll look into ur video . Thank-you . I landed here bcz im tired of taking multiple meds per day and starving myself everyday. I just want to enjoy food. Ill see the video u mentioned.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I am so glad you made this video. I finally have some relief so I can concentrate on getting to the root cause of the LPR. Seriously so appreciate you ♥
My pleasure. I'm so glad you found this video! I know how frustrating it is 😣 Excited for you to be on the path of healing know. Feeling good feels good again!
So glad you found the video! Fyi I DO have a newer one on my channel only a couple vids back. It should be easy to find. Good luck on your path to healing. Be patient with it but you will feel amazing again!
Hey brother,Months later I figured it out It was a gluten intolerance,alot of people get miss diagnosed with gerd and actually it's your body giving you an allergic reaction on your throat.I changed my food to gluten free and now the throat problem is gone.Crazy I know...
That is amazing. Thank you so much for following up with me I really appreciate it. And I'm so glad to hear that. I mean that sucks that it may be limits the beer and bread intake but at least now you know right?! Plus there's other things you can eat/drink instead!
@Vincent Vega Burning throat,tightness and hard to swallow.Sometimes my tounge would swell up,it was horrible but now I'm 95% better!To think I thought I had LPR or GERD the doctors were waaaaayyyy off.
I had a constant globus sensation in my throat and everything I ate made my esophagus inflamed. I went to the doctor and they sent me to a GI specialist. I had a scope done and their findings was a weak LES and irritated esophagus. He diagnosed me with LPR. All they do is prescribe me PPIs. I’ve been taking PPIs for 8 months. They help only a little. They keep my larynx and everything else from being inflamed and in pain. But the mucous in the throat is always there, the globus sensation, and the tightness in my throat. I’ve done the best I can to stay away from trigger foods. I’m not overweight, I would consider myself fairly healthy, I don’t smoke or drink. I love coffee so I’ve had to completely eliminate it because it seems to be my worst trigger. It’s so depressing, I’m trying so hard to not let it get the best of me. I’m praying hard to figure out why my LES is weak. That’s the main issues that’s not been addressed. I’ve never had heartburn or GERD. So I’m so confused as to how the LPR came about. I’m going to try the baking soda gargle today. Sorry for such a long comments, I think we all know how frustrating it is.
Yes, those of us who have had it KNOW how frustrating it is. I think you are on the right track... something irritates your stomach and the LES is weak. Do you drink lots of carbonated water? Have you tried eliminating gluten / dairy? It's tough because we get tests and we WANT them to find something so then we'll have an answer. It feels worse thinking the solution is something else... maybe something more sinister. It's not. You will get through this. The mind does a lot of damage to the situation as well... I think working on your mental well-being help enormously when it comes to this LPR (which triggers a lot of anxiety). Do you have resources you can turn to for this? If you need some suggestions let me know. You got this! Let me know how the gargle / spray works out.
Hello, I feel the same like you! The same symptoms! I take too PPI, I don't smoke, I never drunk alcohol, I don't like Coffee, I don't drink sodas, I don't know what happens... And I have LPR. I m so frustrated and sad, the whole day having problems to speak... Im trying now the backing soda. I hope it helps!
Try Famotidine but especially Gaviscon Advance uk version. There is a Pepsin test called Peptest maybe marketed by another name in other Countries other Coun
Omg thanks for this! No one understands what I'm talking about. And it's hard to explain, Even the ENT I saw didn't mention any of this and I was damn near dying over it!He said acid reflux, I've never felt any kind of pain like the one in my neck 😢
I'm glad you found it! It's frustrating, I know... It will take time to heal but I assure you, you will get through this. You might need to make a few lifestyle changes along the way but as you know now, it's totally worth it.
Another couple of questions. Does it matter if the Betaine has Pepsin or not ? When you figured out you have low stomach acid,did you ever get a test to see your Iron and B12 levels ? Did you also have Generalized Anxiety during your "bad" times (if so,what symptoms) ? thanks again.
No, I've found the Betaine doesn't need pepsin to be effective. Just get a reliable brand and it should work. I've had bloodwork done but to be honest I can't remember if B12 was checked. No red flags with the blood. Yes, I've dealt with Anxiety for a lot time, especially during the bad times... the biggest symptoms for me were constant rumination as well as a constant pit in my stomach... another reason why I think these two things Gerd/Anxiety are often linked.... I definitely think working on the mental health is part of the ongoing solution for fixing gerd. It doesn't hurt anyway. Hope that helps 👊 how you doing?
@@TheSAHDLife Thanks for the encouragement. I'm in the experimentation stage right now . I am starting tomorrow with Cold Infusion Marshmallow Root (which is supposed to be good for coating throat and intestines track and inflamation,heart burn,reflux etc). Tomrorrow I am starting Iron and B12 supplements. I took the home test for Iron and I'm deficient low. My symptoms are still fatigue,lightheaded,dull headache,jaw pain,anxiety,muscle aches,waking up early,easily startled,mind working overtime. I have to try and figure out what is the main issue Anxiety or low acid or low iron (anemia?). I am 100% convinced that the Anxiety triggers the GERD (or should I say LPR). Still have the occasional gurgling,acid bubble burps and sore throat (although the throat isn't quite as bad as last week).
Good evening. Do you think betamin hcl with “pepsin” is part of why you had lpr. Hcl with pepsin worked great but I have some form of lpr. Wondering if it’s the pepsin?
Hi there. No, I don't think so at all. I think the reason I had LPR was a combination of my diet, timing of how/when I ate, and my stress. Have you played around much with your diet? And how are your stress levels?
I have been suffering with loss of voice and not being able to sing in church as normal and I work as a CSR and talk on the phone 6.5 hours a day so the struggle has been real, so I finally found the courage to see an ENT where I was diagnosis with LPR and so he prescribed me Pepcid to take everyday, so I was searching other remedies and came across your video I'm going to try this starting today. Thanks for the information
My husband is on clear liquid for 3 weeks with tightness in the chest went to ER and EGD was performed,still waiting for result. I saw your video pop up and he tried it and next day he can start eating some solid foods and he feels much better.Thank you so much for sharing your video.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing. Wonderful to hear. It's a long, slow journey, but once you get back on the right path you never look back. I'm still feeling better years later than I have pretty much in my whole adult life!
Aw thanks! Glad you found the video. Please make sure to watch my newer video on the topic in the pinned comment if you get a moment. I have updated steps that have keep me feeling AMAZING over the years. Good luck!!
Wow, this simple remedy really helped! My symptoms have been voice weakness, scratchy voice, cough, tightness in throat, throat clearing and post nasal drip.....2 days ago I found this video...I did the baking soda gargle, and I put 1/4 tsp in water and drank it. My symptoms were 90% better immediately. I am on day 3, and am gargling morning and night and drinking a small amount of soda water, and I have just a little clearing of the throat, most other symptoms are gone...Thank you so much @theSAHDLife for posting this video.
Glad you found the video 👊 Thanks for the comment :) Not sure if you watched my newer video I linked in the pinned comment but I did a newer video where I shared more tips. Check it out! It's great the baking soda is helping but you might not want to take it long term due to the high sodium.
I have been suffering on and off over years now it doing mucus in my throat voice box issues did a nasal scope found it now they want me to do a ph trst
Love to hear that my man 👊 Dealing with gerd is the worst. I also have a newer video I pinned in the comments which I highly recommend if you really want to fix the issue for good.
Omg, how thankful i am that i came accorss your video. Ive been suffering the globus feeling in my throat, the gerd symptoms (lightly) for the past couple of months. Just before going to bed i got this lump in my throat again and it put me in panic. As I listened , i ran and used your method- and IT WORKED INSTANTLY!!! Thank you so much!!’ 🙏❤️
Oh that's so amazing, I love it! Getting relief doesn't fix the problem but it's a sign you are on the right track. I have a newer video in the pinned comment that's still worth watching to make sure you fix the root of the problem. Be sure to check it out if you haven't. 👊
@@blakelyr9472 , i was in panic so i did both :) However, today every time i started to feel a lump again , i noticed that spraying in the nostrils works best for me. The release is immediate. So far I had used this method about 7 times today. But likethe video says - it is treating the symptoms, but i still need to get to the bottom of the cause. Still some work to do there.
The goal is to fix the stomach. The baking soda spray is just for temporary relief. If you focus on the stomach alone you ultimately shouldn't/won't even need the spray.
Hopefully it helps you! Please watch my newer video in the pinned comment for step by step tips on what to do next. The spray is just for temporary relief and will NOT fix your issue.
For the best results, be sure to use 8.8 pH alkaline water, available in the spring water section at most supermarkets, not tap water. According to a study conducted by Dr. Jamie Kaufman, the ENT who coined the term LPR, alkaline water deactivates pepsin on contact. I use alkaline water to hydrate at night and also while cycling. Do not to drink alkaline water within two hours after a meal, as it will slow down your digestion. (This restriction does not apply to spraying into your throat, however.)
@@sfow4207 Yes, Trader Joe's 9.5 pH water will work as well. Dr. Kaufman recommends it. Another good option is 9.5 pH Smart Water. You can tell it from regular Smart Water because the printing on the alkaline version is black instead of blue.
I have since started using 9.5 pH alkaline water, the Smart Water brand in the plastic bottle with black graphics on it. The problem with baking soda is that it contains a lot of sodium and you run the risk of getting too much sodium in your blood. 9.5 pH alkaline water alone will do the trick.
Yeah absolutely. It's called silent reflux... Its result of GERD. I have a newer video in the pinned comment set shares the latest tips I used to fix all this stuff so be sure to watch the video if you can!
don't eat oily spicy outside food don't eat chips popcorn etc Gargle with salt water 3 times a day atleast Don't eat citric fruits like orange lemon grapes Don't eat tomatto and never eat raw onion Don't eat masala product like maggy pasta etc Elevate your head side 6 inches atlease so create a slop so acid don't come up Observe if diary milk curd lassi creates problem or not if do than leave them also Never sleep or lay down after meal always lay down after 2-3 ours of sleep Take dinner early and don't sleep before 2-3 hours after that Take small meals 4-5 times a day don't take large meals only eat 60% of your capacity Eat soft spiceless fruits Take 1/3 little baking soda and drink when you feel irritation and drink every 3 days if possible only little soda not more It will kill acid in your throat I am suffering from LPR from one year so I have tried and observe every thing Also consult ent doctor Take 20 minute walk after dinner Don't do hard exercise gym or weight lifting it will create more acid reflux Don't clear your throat distract your self in some work Drink small sips of water when throat stuck feel because clearing throat will irritate it further if you don't clear throat and sip water than your throat will heal in 1-2 day Also don't drink too much water at a single time it will create more acid reflux Remember this tips will greatly help but going to ent doctor is also required Because many illness have same symptoms and all parts are deeply connected so you may never know your disease without doctor
Wow what a thorough comment, thanks for sharing! Your tips might very well help others. Hopefully you have improved yourself. I have thank goodness! But we always have to be mindful moving forward. Cheers!
Thank you for commenting this helpful tips ,I actually have lpr right now and 6months have passed nothing happened i still have it so i will try this thanks for sharing
I discovered I had silent acid reflux (LPR) a few weeks ago and after doing some research I found out that ACV is good for ppl with low stomach acid and so I tried this it to see if that’s the case with me and it worked. It’s been about a week and a half. I drink it every time I feel any acid coming up my throat and it gave me relief. Drink it through a straw ppl. Another tip to help with LPR is to gargle with water and baking soda. This will help get the pepsin out of your throat and relieve some of the symptoms that affects your ears and nose. Finally, use honey to help your esophagus heal. I’m so happy to have found a solution so quick because many ppl suffer for years with this. But don’t give up ppl be consistent and have faith that it will work.
So glad to hear it sounds like you are enjoying life again :) Tightness in my throat has come back again this week ...it's been awhile since it's happened, and my whole mood has been affected. So thanks for your message! It'll help me out!
Sorry to hear that. I’m using honey to heal my throat. Life is getting back to normal. It’s a process but I’m happy to say that I’m getting better by the day.
I used raw honey. Table soon in the morning and at night. My throat is no longer sore or tight. What also helped me is Mr. Goh throat excercises for LPR. He’s also here on UA-cam. It’s a little weird at first but I believe it helped me. Try it!
I wouldn't drink it as it has a very high sodium content. There are better things to fix your stomach (watch my newer video in the pinned comment) but gargling it can help a lot of you have throat issues.
Well this is a very welcome video! Without getting into all the detail, I've been there for about 6 years, was told mostly the wrong things, and it killed my professional singing career. Maybe now I can get back to it. Thank you!
So glad you found the video my friend! Do keep us posted with how it goes. Be patient with it, but I have a feeling you're going to start feeling better really soon!
I have everything now! Heartburn a little of bit of gassy and acid reflux and silent reflux! I did this and really help me!😮 I was a little skeptical but thank you very much for helping everyone!🙏🏻
So glad you found the video! If you haven't checked it out already I just created a new video on this you can find on my channel. I appreciate the comment! 👊
I have similar symptoms like acid in my throat but no heartburn… a slight dry cough…and my left nostril is always plugged.. been going on for about a week already… u think it might be lpr?? Will the baking soda method work?
I think it's worth a try. Has your diet changed? Are you eating right before bed or eating too much? Give the gargle a try and see if that helps... Then continue investigating that cause so you can heal and prevent it. Let me know how it goes for you if you remember
It did for me. I can't say for sure about your case. I have a newer video in the pinned comments you might want to watch as I share everything that cured me. It has NEVER returned! I feel great still!
WOW!!! Seriously!! So thankful for finding this video and for your shaing it!! i have been waking up with reflux in my throat or mouth and was wondering why or what it was and so so greatful for this i will start trying the sodium barcarbonate! thank you!
Glad you found the video! In case you didn't see it, I highly recommend you watch my newer video on the subject in the pinned comment. It has a gameplan on exactly how to fix the issue that has helped a LOT of people. I still feel great fyi!! Good luck.
I think I have this, I was feeling something constantly rising up and down in my throat, and then I would cough. I also feel the phlegm in the back of my throat and post nasal drip, as well as a soreish throat. The doctor told me it was GERD but the only thing that has helped me was the ACV. I take that religiously and I have been experiencing a flare, but I think it’s cause I have high stress and anxiety. Hoping for the best as I’ve suffered with this for about a year now.😢
Thanks for sharing, and yes, it is the stress. My next video is for you so stay tuned! I was hoping to have it out tomorrow but it might be early next week. You will improve, I promise. All those symptoms you have are normal and they will go away in time. You just did a lot of damage and the healing process is slow.
Just a suggestion that might help you (as I've been going through this for 9 months). Because ACV is quite acidic, I would suggest taking the ACV pills instead. Since the issue with the esophagus is acid leaking up, you wouldn't want food or drink high in acidity going down your throat for now until it heals up. At least, that's been my experience.
My biggest symptom is shortness of breath and feeling lump in throat/food stuck. I cant even exercise it sucks so much. Cardio/pulm found nothing. GU found I had esophagus inflammation but I never feel the classic gerd symptoms of heart burn.
It's frustrating isn't it? Have you modified your diet / lifestyle quite a bit to test for different triggers? Did you try the spray? Sorry I didn't respond sooner, sometimes comments slip through the cracks!
That "shortness of breath", in my case, presents as an asthma attack. Your bronchial tubes are likely on fire from this digestive action going on that shouldn't be there. My research has led me to the pepsin gas needing a carrier to make it to your larynx. When your stomach acidity is low (higher than normal pH, 4-5), some bacteria can survive and colonize. I believe this infection produces the carrier gas that abets the journey of pepsin to the larynx. I'll be gargling the baking soda solution and taking 4 doses of apple cider vinegar a day with the hopes of making it past this infection. The only other alternative is a battery of antibiotics that will blow up my gut biome and force me to start over with probiotics. Couldn't get the help I needed from the doc. PPI's, PPI's and PPI's.
Hi there How are you doing now? Your symptoms are same with mine which is frustating😢 i took ACV as well for 2 weeks not sure why the sore throat and rainy nose, mild flu come in sudden. I already cut all the sugar, carb and starch. I did everything. I hope to get back to normal life again 🥺
Pleaseee can Is it important to use alkaline water? Can i use just tap water with soda? Thank you so much for the video! I'm going to try it! You are giving me hope 🙏🏻
Yes you can just try gargling with baking soda and tap water. Then if that works maybe go out of your way to get some alkaline water at a pharmacy as it has the proper pH. Good luck!! Let us know how it goes.
I’m going to the doctor tomorrow, as I have the same symptoms you talk of. I don’t want to suffer for years with this as it is fairly recent. I’m going to do the becarb spray tomorrow. One question though is how much bicarb to water do I need for the spray bottle. Thankyou for sharing your experience.
Only gives me relief for one minute. And then returns ….. I hate this chronic dry cough !!!!!… The only thing that cured me from this cough was lansoprazole. However ppi s are dangerous !!!!
Well I'm glad to hear you eventually found relief. It sure is frustrating. It's a quest to get off and stay off PPI's long-term. It takes a lot of lifestyle and changing of habits, for me anyways. Hope you are doing well :)
Thank you SO MUCH for this great tip!! I can't wait to try it! I feel so thankful to have found this topic on youtube and so many great tips on how to relieve symptoms. Very appreciated!
Glad you found the video! I think SO many of us have gone the traditional route with no success, and out of frustration have turned to other methods. And luckily in my case I was able to treat myself! I have a follow up video coming soon too, it should be up in the next week or so. Did you try the spray?
God bless you man. I was suffering so badly even this morning. I saw your video, rushed to kitchen, did the gurgling (as i dont have spray bottle) and there it is!! instant relief it is!! Thank you!! Please let me know a few more things. How often in a day do i need to do it? Will drinking water afterwards wash away the effect and bring the throat pain back? Is there any side effects that i should be careful about?
I'm glad to hear it my man! That's awesome. Honestly there's no right answer to your questions... do it as you see fit. It's a remedy though and not a solution... while it works you need to get to the bottom of the problem. I have a newer video in the pinned comment you should watch if you haven't yet. Good luck 👊
Honestly, I'm not sure about the hiatal hernia. That's beyond my scope and since I didn't personally deal with it, I can't share my experience with it :(
Raw milk works miracles for me. Also take the Boiron homeopathic throat formula when it acts up and that helps. I am gonna try the bs gargle as well. Thanks for this!
Raw milk eh? Where do you get it from... just a local health food store or? And do you have any idea why it helps? Also I'm not familiar with the Boiron throat formula, I'll have to check it out. Let us know if the spray/gargle helps at all!
Great help in urgent case. What also helped me a lot is taking b12 1000 mcg each Day. It saved my life, I can eat whatever I want again and it does not cost much money. If it works for you, you should see a different within 3-4 weeks.
That is great news! Love hearing things like this. It's difficult living with the discomfort for so long you almost get used to it. Thanks for sharing your tip, you might just help someone!
But I would have to do that constantly. I am on a PPI because it was making me do sick that I felt like throwing up It was awful. But I know I will have to go off of pantoprazole eventually but not sure if I can now
Check out my newer video on the topic in the pinned comment. I too came off PPI's a couple years ago and I'm happy to say I am fully cured and feel great. The video has a step-by-step plan on what to do. Good luck!
Hai ihave only burning sensation in the throat especially in morning times i used antibiotica and gastric syrups iam very much worried can i use dis remedy
Yes of course you can try it out. Just try gargling some water with baking soda to see if that helps. If it does, then follow the rest of the advice in the video (and watch the video in the pinned comment!). Good luck.
I really hope it helps you out. Part of me thinks it COULD be a reaction to something in my diet. I find when I eat more cheese/dairy my throat gets extra phlegmy. This did give me some relief which is awesome. Let me know!!
I’d like to add some “common sense” here. “Spraying” your throat with a solution of baking side and water, is not be nearly as effective as gargling with the solution.
Thank you for this video. I have been using this spray but never could get the a squeeze bottle open to clean and refill. I watched how easy you opened the bottle and now I know how to open my squeeze bottle.
Thanks for your explanation on why silent reflux doesn't cause heartburn. That really made sense. I'm going to try gargling with baking soda. My silent reflux was discovered when I had a stroboscopy to look at my vocal cords. The only symptoms I have are burping, clearing my throat and a hoarse voice. I switched to a low carb diet 3 months ago as I also have a fatty liver and while I'm losing weight and feel better my reflux has got worse. For me it seems to be the more fat content in the food the worse my reflux is after. I'm drinking apple cider vinegar which seems to have helped a little. The baking soda drinking test shows I have low stomach acid.
Thanks for watching and the comment! And that is very interesting. Do you strain your voice when you talk / sing? Also, do you drink alcohol or eat much dairy? I'm just curious to what triggers for others might be. Those two for me (sadly) seem to be the ones that cause me symptoms. Let me know if the gargle helps at all!
@@TheSAHDLife Yes, will do! With dairy its hard to tell. Sometimes I seem to able be able to have milk or cheese and other times they trigger it. I sing but my voice sounds substandard compared to how it used to and does a weird thing where it wobbles spasmodically after a reflux episode. I rarely drink alcohol but when I do it's in a crowded bar or club where I have to shout over the music which compounds my voice issues.
For me it is worse when I eat fatty food which makes me wonder if having no gallbladder can be the cause of this condition for me. The gallbladder is a sac containing very concentrated bile which main role is to digest fats. It started with dairy intolerance like and progress over a period of 10 years to any type of fat wether it is meat or dessert. If I minimize the fat intake the symptom is lessen a lot.
1- when to take it? after food? night?morning? 2- Is it safe in the long run? any precautions? i have this since 2020 jan and my throat feels like i am going to get flu but it is just irritated throat and no heartburn. i think the throat is not getting a chance to heal.
Doesn't really matter when you take it... I need to get in the morning middle of the day and before bed... Experimented with before and after meals it didn't really seem to matter though I preferred after meals. It's not for the long-term. It's just a relief symptoms while you fix the issue. I have a newer video in the pinned comments you should check out when you get a few moments. It should answer all of your questions.
I recently got diagnosed with LPR. I tried alkaline and baking soda in spray bottle. I sprayed once in the throat. Since then my throat is burning and pain increased. What am I doing wrong here?
Interesting. I'm not sure. Perhaps you could just try a gargle instead of the spray and see if that also burns. I mean at the end of the day, fixing your stomach is the #1 priority. If you follow a path that fixes that, you won't even need the spray because your throat will heal. I have a newer video on the topic which I shared in the pinned comment in case you want to check it out. It has more tips on how to heal.
Thank you for this bit of advice. I was diagnosed with GERD but the so called medication only made it worse. I gave up on the doctor, felt he didn't hear me.
Doctors want to help, it's part of their oath right? But yeah sometimes they might not have the experience to find the right starting point for this particular ailment. But now you've found the video so hopefully you are on a path that works and makes sense to you!
@@JoycelynKoranteng No I didn't. I wear Invisalign trays every night to bed, perhaps they helped protect my teeth... but I also think they made me clench my teeth which caused some of my swallowing issues. It's all gone now though!
Supposedly the spray hangs around a little longer and can also hit the nasal passage. The purpose I believe is to achieve the proper PH level. The LPR doc on UA-cam goes into it deeper if you want to learn more about it.
Can you help us with one thing? Here you help us balance the acid with an alkaline solution, which makes sense. However, in your follow-up video "The MOST Effective Treatment for GERD and Silent Reflux" you suggest that it's in fact low stomach acid that causes the symptoms. Isn't it a contradiction?
The message is the same in both... the symptoms are a result of low stomach acid. It seems like the low acid causes the lower esophageal sphincter to relax causing weak but still powerful acid to rise up in the esophagus causing damage and all kinds of issues in the throat. Balancing that acid in the stomach is the most important priority whether you have GERD or LPR. Hope that helps.
Thank you for this tip. Will try gargling with baking soda, hopefully that will help provide some relief. I deal with post nasal drip, along with constant mucus in the throat (at least that's what it feels like), which causes me to constantly want to clear my throat. In turn it makes my throat really raw/sore to the point where it affects my voice quite a bit. This has been going on for a couple years now, and I was told by my ENT that I have allergies, and acid re-flux. I was given an acid reducing medication, which I started but stopped shortly after (I'm bad at remembering to take pills on the daily). Will try getting back on that, along with the baking soda tip. I'd love to be able to talk properly again and not get up with a clogged throat, and constantly try to clear it. It's literally driving me insane the longer it persists.
Hang in there... Sounds like a very similar story. Do let me know if it gives you any relief. Have you changed any of your lifestyle habits or played around with diet (e.g avoiding dairy, etc) trying to fix it? Just curious.
@@TheSAHDLife I cut back on dairy (not completely) a couple years ago, but didn’t get any relief. My ENT said I should cut back on spicy stuff, and caffeine which are my go-to’s. I have tried cutting back on caffeine as well, with no relief. Hot foods is a hard one to give up, I like my hot sauces😓 trying not to eat so close to bed time too, which is a bad habit of mine.
@@TheSAHDLife did you have post nasal drip as well? My nose always runs, on and off throughout the day. Antihistamines don’t seem to do anything, I was also prescribed a corticosteroid nasal spray, which again does nothing.
@@NsIX3 Ya I do still have that issue, constant mucus production. Although it's tough to say how much is related to the weather. I find that cheese/dairy changes the consistency of it, making it thicker which is when I really notice it. It's so tricky to say exactly what the problem is from. Alcohol has always been my go to as I love a glass of wine or big glass of IPA, so am still running tests. I find after a good 24 hour water fast though I feel good, so I'm tempted to try a keto run here soon and see how that goes. I think stress/anxiety is a factor too.
@@NsIX3 It sure is a frustrating thing to deal with isn't it? I've always had allergies too and it just feels like my body is allergic to something... I have successfully cut back on eating before bed which gets easy once you get used to it. This has helped. Getting better at fasting which feels great for many reasons helps get through any minor hunger pangs which I used to fear.
Aww yes! Music to my ears 👊 So glad it helped. Now that you've found relief it's time to fix the actual problem and start healing. It recently came back for me after stressful times so I'm back to more whole foods and mindfulness and boy life sure feels better when I take care of my body. You got this!
Just got back from the ent told me i have this. I dont have a burn just drawing phlegm constantly will this relieve the need to constantly do that its ruining my life. Thanks.
Yeah I think it's a good place to start. It'll relieve the symptoms but you will still need to figure out what is causing all your phlegm in the first place. I think there's a good chance it may be something in your diet. Have you ever tried eliminating certain foods (dairy/gluten etc)?
Thank you! Have had two upper GIs, two upper endoscopies, a 24 hour Ph monitoring test (awful), and was diagnosed with a lower esophageal sphincter that was not allowing acid to bother my lower esophagus but to shoot acid up into my voice box. I failed three pulmonary function tests and have had Afib and PSVT and palpitations and an anxiety misdiagnosis -- and I am given PPIs but the only one that helps is Nexium but TRICARE military hospitals won't give it to me because it is too expensive. So I will try your concoction. If for no other reason than to spare myself more tests and drugs I dont need like bronchodilators and whatever they give to people with COPD and to avoid losing my voice forever.
Thanks for sharing. That sounds very frustrating. Let me ask you, what are your main 1-3 symptoms? I always wonder when I hear a case like yours if perhaps, like me and a lot of other people, you were treating the wrong problem. Have you tried the burp test yet (from my other video)? I am going to work on my follow up video this this week, so hopefully I can get that up at the end of the week or early next week. Stay tuned for that!
@@TheSAHDLife I just found your channel last night so no havent tried it yet. Main 3 symptoms are: 1). Run out of air after a couple seconds while talking (especially when in a medical environment as I have white coat hypertension but alos when I am nervous or anxious or having a reflux issue) FYI -- just gave myself the Bruce Protocol test at the gym and VO2 max estimated 37 that's with arthritis issues is 2). Feeling like I am choking in throat at times3). Frequent soreness in throat and hoarseness. Same symptoms for 30 years....... Still otherwise fit, daily high intensity exercise etc
I'm so glad I came across this video. I have been suffering with LPR now for close to 3 years. I'm in sales and the voice loss has damaged my career to the point of no return, I lost my confidence because my voice keeps letting me down. I pray that after trying this method that it gives me a positive way forward and I can get back into my career as sales genie. I just want my voice back but it's really been hard as the throat reflux keeps on attacking me. Watching all the way from South Africa. Thank you
I hope you find some relief! You might also want to try and find a local speech-language pathologist. I think for a lot of us, we strain and use a lot of effort while we talk and the damage might directly be to the larynx. So in addition to trying the spray, perhaps Google 'swallowing exercises' or 'swallowing exercises for dysphagia' and go down that path as well. Let's double down the effort on you and get you back and running at 100% ASAP. Thanks for watching and commenting :) Have an awesome day (From Vancouver Canada)!
Have you tried Lax Vox? Check it out on UA-cam. Absolutely amazing. I had awful problems with hoarseness. I was in field sales, but after covid spent hours on the phone from home. Went to a voice coach and found out about Lax Vox. Also, sternocleidomastoid massage. Instant and permanent relief. 😊
It could be from a lot of things my friend.... Do you eat right before bed? Are you taking any medications? Have you worked with your Doc? Did you watch my other video on GERD, have you tried the burp test?
i have little red bumps in back of my throat from acid reflux. and i am doing everything to get rid of this problem but i am still afraid if it will get worse. i took medicines for acid reflux and it worked when i was taking it but now when i am not taking medicine my acid reflux got much worse and my throat and stomach is burning so much . but i tried this baking soda remedy yesterday and it kinda worked but please tell me something what should i do now to get rid of this problem permanently.
Is it safe to spray the alkaline and baking soda solution into your lungs? Will it burn you? Also can you tell me how it feels like. Also, do I need to change the solution out daily to avoid infection and how do i store the solution.
I don't believe it goes directly to your lungs. It hits your throat and slides down.... hitting your vocal chords etc.. It shouldn't burn. It just feels like a breathe with a little bit of moisture. Nothing uncomfortable. No you don't need to change the solution that frequently. I would just try it for a day or two and see if you get any relief. If you DO get relief then worry about the little things. It's pretty stable to sit in the container I would say for at least a couple weeks.
@@TheSAHDLife Ok thanks, I am going to try this soon, I only have two symptoms which is a lump in my throat and mucus stuck in my throat. I am praying that this spray gets rid of this 🤞🤞. Also, right below my Adam's apple, I can feel a lump when I put my finger on that spot. Is this a normal symptom?
@@yunusdotty113 Sadly I do not have answers for you on that. You should definitely go seek professional a opinion for the lump. Good luck and let me know how it goes!
Hi, I have a few questions, my main symptoms are mucus and a lump below my Adam's apple and constant swallowing when sleeping. Will Spraying this harm you in any way, and do you have to spray when you inhale. Also, do I replace it with a new mixture everyday and how do I store it. Thanks.
It shouldn't harm you in anyway no, and yes you inhale while you spray. The mixture is fine for a couple weeks I'm sure. Let me know how it goes! Also, try and get to the bottom of your mucus. Have you tried eliminating dairy / gluten?
@@TheSAHDLife I dont think dairy is causing the mucus and the pepcid in my throat is probably irritating something causing mucus to form. Hopefully this spray can get rid of it, I have high Hope's as alot of people are saying it worked for them
@@TheSAHDLife I cannot find the spray bottle you are using since I am in the UK, any other alternatives, can I use a nasal spray where you press the side with 2 of your fingers.
@@TheSAHDLife I'm going to order the saline mist spray for £30 ffs, from amazon, In the video, you used a tool when transferring the alkaline solution from the glass into the bottle, is that necessary or can I just open the cap and pour it in from my glass, also do I have to be cautious about any bacteria
Do what makes you happy and stop stressing. Keep your phone rest well, go for swimming, vacation, don’t smoke only eat healthy helps a lot. I’m a victim it’s not easy but we will overcome by staying happy. Going out with friends too. I’m hoping one day I’ll be free. We are many God help us. Amen 🙏
Glad you found the video 👊 in case you missed it be sure to watch my new video on the subject. I have it pinned in the comments. It has a newer more thorough game plan for people.
UPDATE: I just released a new video on GERD/LPR which I highly recommend you watch. Watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/9TVMcS42se0/v-deo.html I hope this video helps you find relief or at least gives you hope about the future. Things WILL get better for you.

Just thought I'd share this. After 7 months of LPR, two doctors - an ENT - Nexium, Pepcid, ACV, baking soda etc...I FINALLY found relief THIS WEEK with BETAINE HCL - in 24 hours!! FINALLY, no phlegm in throat, sinus congestion or hoarse voice! Well let's call it 90% better. Will stay on for two weeks+ which is supposed to regulate stomach acid back to normal area!! TRY IT! Betaine Hydrochloride plus pepsin. Don't ingest anything to reduce acid. Take the Betaine in a capsule so as to protect esophagus on the way down.
@@theavanrensburg8196 I don't think it really matters. Just a little Baking Soda i water will increase its PH level a lot. I've been gargling with it AND salt water, drinking alkaline water - PH 9.5, taking Betaine HCL and digestive enzymes at every meal, Vitamin D3, K2, Zinc, Magnesium, Berberine, serrapeptase, and either Reflux Gourmet or Gaviscon Advance after every meal and at bedtime for that Sodium Alginate reflux raft that forms blocking off the LES and I'm STILL getting nasal drip and voice issues now. Either this isn't LPR or none of this is helping. Getting that CONSTANT urge to cough now as well because - I think - nasal drip pouring onto voice box? IDK but about to throw in towel and just try to live with it the best I can. Very discouraged. Also take a teaspoon of Honey and/or peanut butter a few times/day. IDK...
Two months ago I had an endoscopy and soon after I totally lost my voice. Doc prescribed PPI (pantoprazole) in the morning and at night which helps some. It is now about 75% back but I am very hoarse and constantly cough and clear my throat. Last night I ran across this video and decided to try the gargling method and it almost instantly stopped my coughing. Today I am going to try the spray bottle for my nose and see if that helps. I have tremendous will power and am going to start changing one thing at a time to see how I improve. I will update you weekly if you would like.
That's amazing!! You know, after putting through all the effort of making this video, comments like yours make it all worth it. So yes, please keep me posted! A lot of others read these comments and your story could help someone else take action too. Time to start enjoying life again right!?
@@TheSAHDLife One week update: The gargling and nose spray was my silver bullet. After a couple of days of this my coughing and throat clearing has been reduced by 98%! Now I only have to do it maybe once or twice per day, or when I can feel my throat start to burn a little. Also, chewing gum with xylitol in it helped a TON when my throat starts to get a little dry. Your suggestion of cutting down water with meals also is a good one and has helped out a lot. I have also chosen to greatly reduce the amount that I was eating at every meal by at least half in order to get full digestion quicker and eliminate any acid reflux. I have also thrown in intermittent fasting and apple cider vinegar in the mornings in place of a PPI that was prescribed. Also raising the head of my bed with a wedge pillow was the nail in the coffin for my problems. I have never slept better after the raise in my bed. All of these things together has me on the road to recovery and my voice is almost totally restored. Thank you for this video my friend and keep up the good work...
@@mattarbogast24 That is music to my ears my friend! Thank you so much for keeping me updated. I am so happy to hear that and I really loved your tip about the gum. I hope moving forward you (and I) are able to keep this at bay because it sure is annoying to deal with when it's at full force isn't it? Man, your comment was a great way to start my day!
Hey dude, just wanted to check in and see how you are doing? I've had some annoying little flare ups... frustrating indeed. But your message gave me some good motivation!
@@TheSAHDLife Hey! Doing better every day, and my voice continues to improve. I have seen where they say it could take several weeks or months for it to come back but thats OK. I have had to break down everything that I eat and drink, the times that I eat or drink it and how much I eat or drink. After I changed some things according to your video I have not had any flare ups. It is really all about WHAT and WHEN you eat or drink. When you find what your triggers are it is easy to keep this at bay. Keep pumping man, you can beat this!
Well it's not really a cure for the mucus. It can relieve symptoms right away, but I found it mostly helps deal with the pain or discomfort some of us experience with swallowing so we can fix the problem itself which is creating the mucus (allergies? GERD? Post nasal drip?). Have you played around with your diet at all trying to solve your mucus problem?
Hi, it is going well, thanks! Did I have trouble when speaking? Mine never hurt from eating, drinking, or talking, but every swallow sucked. So it was the in between mostly. I mean there was general pressure and discomfort I suppose. But it was really when I gulped it sucked.
This is caused by the small amount of acid, bile and Pepsin coming up into the throat. So why would you want to take something with more Pepsin, which will aggravate it more. Seems counter productive.
The thought behind it is that when your stomach acid gets weak in your stomach the les weakens and the acid gets shot up into your esophagus. So you actually want to add more acid to your stomach so that sphincter tightens because of the extra pressure and therefore acid won't get released into your esophagus.
I’ve had Gerd for a year before I started to notice Lpr . The doctors nowadays really suck and I had to find out the hard when I went to check out my throat which started to produce excess mucus /soar throat/ all the symptoms listed in video. No help. The nurse looked at me like I was stupid. It ridiculous. I’m 16 and started suffering from this at around 15. I drink occasionally and vape. But I was able to do those things without feelin symptoms at one point. Now I just get a tight throat and feel like I have something dripping in my throat whenever I’m in public. I hate this . I need help but no one seems to know enough about this disease. It’s sad
I know it doesn't feel like it right now but you will get better it might just take a bit of time. You might have post-nasal drip... do you have allergies? Allergy medicine could help also. I wrote to your other message so you can just respond to all of these questions in one answer if you'd like.
Yea I definitely had some bad eating habits during the pandemic. I wud eat in bed a lot and fall asleep after a big meal. I feel dumb for not addressing it sooner. I’m not overweight, I drink moderately, stay up late most of my nights, but the symptoms of Gerd started getting better after I started taking Omeprazole. I didn’t like takin it every single day but whenever I stoped taking them it wud cause worse symptoms. When I went to my doctor they didn’t even mention lpr or didn’t even bother to ask about the throat pain. It’s crazy what a little research can do compared to the health industry.
@@TheSAHDLife I have gargled the baking soda with bottle water and gave me instant relief. I will try to find an nasal spray bottle and use actual alkaline water for more results
Oh you are so young. Do one thing start walking in sun prefer half hour daily, take vit D3, take whole butter milk mixed with water not too Cold. Add 40 pct warm water you will cure without ppi. I hate seeing such a young person with this horrible disorder. Know that it happens for imbalances of acidic and alkaline. For your pH you will be fine
The baking soda rinse helps. I've been doing it for a while before even watching this video..but avoiding acid foods (including citric acid) helps me a lot too. Question though - if you use a spray in your nose, aren't you supposed to make sure it's sterile, as well as the container? I heard of a woman dying from using non-sterile water in a netti pot.
That sounds scary! Based on my research I didn't see anything too concerning. But I guess depending on ones on existing conditions and the local water quality it might be a good idea to be mindful of this. How long have you been dealing with this? Have you been getting long term results? I just started Keto yesterday so I will update the comments with the results from this.
Good luck! It's 'tough when you are throwing bling darts trying to find relief. There are many things to test out but hopefully you can get some relief first. Let me know how it goes!
@@TheSAHDLife Hlo borther, I will be very grateful if you will answer my question.. I request you to please answer my question, as it can change my life I have constant bad breath(literally 24*7) and the bad breath has always the smell of what I have ate, If I ate eggs, i will have egg smell coming from my mouth for the next 3-4 hours and it's the same case with other foods, I do get heartburns when I eat something oily or spicy.. what problem do I have according to you🙏🙏
@@polyloly2120 Hello my friend! Well that is a very difficult question without knowing more information... The first thing would be how much food are you eating? Perhaps your portion sizes are too big. Are you drinking liquid with your food? You should keep that minimal. Do you have any food allergies? Perhaps the foods you are eating, your body does not like them. You might have to spend a couple weeks and heal your gut before you can find relief. You might need to avoid acidic and spicy foods... alcohol.... coffee. Perhaps eating some fermented foods would really help. I also suggest you watch my GERD video and do the burp test! I hope this helps you!
So I have allergies and acid reflux my throat has been sore for like 5 years and in my throat if you shine a flashlight it shows irritated throat with bumps and it’s been like that for years I’ve had dozens of doctors appointments and they couldn’t tell me what it was they are clueless ohio doctors I want these bumps gone
That sounds frustrating. Have you tried elimination diets etc? Did you happen to see my other video on GERD, in it I suggest a quick burp test you could try that might give you a different approach.
Yes but if you have severe throat pain the baking soda is just to help temporarily relieve that pain while you fix your stomach by adding acid. Start with the burp test to figure out what your problem is then follow the tips from the other video as I mentioned in the other comment. And be patient. It takes time to heal.
Hey man! Great video, i deal with Lpr everyday & this helps! But i have a question, where can i find a spray bottle that i dont have to cut open? All the saline bottles at Walmart dont have tops you can unscrew
I was able to just pop the top of an old saline bottle with a knife. Give it a try if you've got one. They just press that top part on usually. Otherwise you COULD neti pot it. Or just try the spray / gargle for a couple days and IF you notice a difference then invest or MacGuyver a method to spray your nose. Thanks so much for the comment and for watching!
@@TheSAHDLife I got a bottle of SinuFlu ready rinse. And mixed together baking soda and alkaline water. The only issue is, the "sprayer" on the bottle is like a big hose, so instead of a fine mist going up my nose its the water and baking soda. Would it still work if i squirted the water up my nose or if i gargled the alkaline water & baking soda?
Yeah it did for me! Hopefully it works for you too. I also have a newer video with more tips in the pinned comments I suggest you watch if you get a minute.
PLEASE WATCH MY UPDATED VIDEO ON LPR & GERD HERE: ua-cam.com/video/9TVMcS42se0/v-deo.html
MIXTURE:

I hope this video gives you hope! REALLY be mindful of your lifestyle choices (do you drink a lot of bubbly water? Do you chew your food well? Are you sensitive to any foods you eat?) because it could very likely be something you aren't considering that's causing you pain. Some of my biggest contributing factors were: eating portions that were too large, not chewing well enough, eating too close to bed, and consuming too much liquid with a meal.

Hi, may I know what is your symptoms?
Let me start by saying thank you sir. 😊 I'm a 38 yr old brick mason and I've been suffering for 6-7 years with LPR. I have never had heart burn., so when my throat started burning and hurting I went to an EMT and he told me acid reflux is doing it and take some ppi pills and you'll be fine. The ppis did nothing at all and I was suffering and in hell. I quit smoking after 13yrs, ate better, raised my bed. Nothing helped. So I started doing research and found out about how the medical world has failed patients on LPR and how it's eventually going to lead to cancer. I became depressed and just excepted my fate. After years i just got used to the pain day in and out. I was talked into going to a gastrointestinal dr. I tell him about my throat and LPR and he looks at me and says, "yh I think I've heard of that." My heart sank, I knew he wasn't going to help me. I then just hoped it would go away and continued my life learning to deal with the pain. That was until 3 days ago, when I found this video. I ran to the store bought the ingredients and squirted it in my throat while breathing and felt instant relief that I haven't had in years. I still had some burning in the back of my throat so the next day I tried it up my nose and I could have cried like a baby. The relief I felt I just can't explain. Ty so much for this video it has honestly changed my life!
Aww man, reading this just absolutely made my day. Thank you SO much for sharing that with me. I'm so glad I was able to help as I know how frustrating it is. As we get older hey you almost get used to pain... but it doesn't have to be that way. Good for you for hanging in there and looking for solutions. You are going to feel amazing again soon, I'm really happy for you and excited for your future! It feels good to feel good again eh??
I don’t think it would lead to cancer but I’m happy for you nothing is helping for me
So happy for you!! I pray you continue to experience relief! I almost choked 3 years ago! I have been fine for the last couple of years, but now all of a sudden I guess I'm experiencing a flare up...not fun! Trying to figure out why.
Did you have discomfort swallowing all the time especially dry swallow? I am in mental pain right now cos I have had throat issues for couple months but the ent gave the ok for throat and he said it might be gerd, well lo and behold a week later started having the liquid in my back of throat and my stomach gurgling etc. I tried drinking some baking soda but it just made me burp which is supposed to mean I don’t have low acid in my stomach.
Your giving me hope man I’m so depressed right now
OMG!!! Im 67 years old!!! Where have u been my whole life!!!! Thank you so much!!!
Oh I'm so glad you found the videos! It took me longer than I'd like to learn the information too...
I have been in and out of the Emergency room all week and also my PCP 3 days this week. My reflux is out of control. It is affecting my sinuses and giving me tinnitus. I have tried every ppi and lifestyle chage. No smoking no drinking. I'm healthy weight. I'm now on klonopin for the panic attacks the tinnitus is causing. I live with the tastes of acid always in my mouth and it sucks. I came across your vid and decided to gargle some baking soda and water and that Nast taste in my mouth and throat is now gone. I can not thank you enough for this video. I'm in tears and peace.
Oh that makes me so happy. Thank you for letting me know, and keep your spirits up. You will get through this and life will be good again. I know because it has for me.
It's insane that things get that bad but our bodies are even more insane and how they can fix and adapt.
If you ever need to brainstorm what else to try or just want to chat about the relief send me a message okay?
I'm rooting for you!!
I hope you got better. Just wanted to say I had debilitating anxiety and panic attacks. You acrully don’t need any of the drugs. Anxiety is all rooted in your thoughts, 95% cured. No panic attacks.
@@Zackkrupppanic attacks are the worst. I got it in mid air. I had few drinks. Then after some time panic attack started. It was the worst time in my life and that too in mid air. My mum was with me. I didn’t want to frighten her. Luckily I survived. Actually just survived. Panic attack…just take a shower. Don’t think just do it.
You completely described my symptoms , its been two years i have a loud tinnitus , i never even heard the word tinnitus before I actually have it , it is the worst thing a human being can have , no one understands you and the torture you are going through,
Did you try this remedy, how is your tinnitus now ?
Oh my gosh your symptoms sound just like mine! I also have sore throat and trouble swallowing at times. I'm not breathing well at night, and I really hope the baking soda helps eventually.
Over 33 years of LPR. I am an LPR champion. I was misdiagnosed with Post Nasal Drip for all these years until I diagnosed myself correctly 2 years ago.
Oof, I feel you on that one. Would you say you have fixed your problem? Or is it something you think you'll battle with for the rest of your life. What if anything is really helped you? I made a new video on the topic which I can't share because I'm on my mobile but I'd be curious to hear what you think about it... or what you have to add to it to help others
Hello, what symptoms do you have? I would be very happy about an answer
Hi how did u fix ur lpr problem please 🙏 people need help like me and don't want to suffer.
@@alexlabra1562 Sorry, I didn't get a notification from UA-cam about the replies before and just saw these messages. No, I haven't found any cure yet. But I have got clues on what might work to fix it. I have had malabsorption issue since birth. Most likely my body is not making sufficient stomach acid. Years ago, muscles around my navel shifted (this issue is called navel displacement although it is not medically acknowledged) This was when the muscles put abnormal pressure on my stomach and I ended up having LPR and IBS both. Due to weakness of muscles they didn't come back to the original position. So now I have started on Betaine HCL, and some other supplements and also doing yoga specifically to fix navel displacement. I am positive that this should fix my weak muscles and as soon as the abnormal pressure on my stomach is removed, LES should also close.
In the meantime, I have given up dairy and citrus. I am experimenting with Itopride 150 mg daily. I am also taking Quercetin 400 mg twice daily. Overall, this has reduced my LPR symptoms by over 70% and that's a huge relief. I have done all of these within the last few weeks. I am not sure about Itopride's efficacy but the rest of the remedies are working well. Also I do Anulom Vilom Pranayama which is very helpful. If I can gradually increase it to 15 minutes twice a day, I think my LPR symptoms will reduce by over 90%.
@@TheSAHDLife I haven't seen your other video yet but I will try to find it.
This is first time ever I am writing a review on UA-cam video. I am very happy to share with you all that, this trick woks. I am suffering with LPR from past 3 months and multiple doctors gave me multiple antibiotics assuming it is throat infection. I did not get any relief. Finally some wise doctor told me this is due to LPR and put me on PPI tablets. I did not get any relief either...I began to search about it and found this very informative video. Following these steps, just in 2 days I got a relief from throat ache. I want to say a big Thank you!!
Your comment made my day! I'm so glad you found the video and happy to hear that you have found some relief. Hopefully you are on the right path to healing now and look forward to experiencing life once again!! 👊
Hey do you have sores or infection in throat?
Girish bhai can i call u
I m also disturbed from past 4 months also
hi may i know what is your symptoms?
I’m coming back to this video to say a huge THANK YOU!!! ❤ I was suffering from LPR for about 2 years after I acquired bronchitis in 2021. I visited many doctors, had X-rays, inhalers, medications and many more things thrown at me. I was so frustrated but started using this method in April of 2023 alongside Pepcid daily (my doctor said it was okay) and avoiding acidic foods. I can now say that my LPR was gone after 2 months of consistency!! I felt hopeless and now I’m so happy to live without coughing 24:7. God Bless 😊
Wow, reading comments like this is just the best. Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate it. It's such a constant form of suffering, I don't wish it on anyone. It still comes up in small doses here and there when my diet is crap or stress is high, but luckily now, like you, I am armed with the tools on how to heal myself.
Good for you! Love to hear it.
How many times a day do you use this? Is there anything else you do?
Oh wow thanks lord you recover 🙏
Please help me it’s been 3 years
Hey, how bad was your LPR? I tried using the bicarbonate of Soda and water spray but it hurts my throat. (My throat has tiny spots on it and lots of red patches)
I can’t eat anything from last 2 months am totally on liquid, like coconut water & watermelon juice, whenever I try to eat I feel choking sensation, I have change 7 doctors and also I have done endoscopy, CT-scan, barium swollow, but doctor said you have fungal infection. But now finally my last doctor said it’s happen bc.z of anxiety. Can you please help me.
Thank you and god bless you
I have a newer video on the topic in the pinned comment you might want to watch. And yes, I was also made aware of anxiety and how much it affects the throat. For me, reading the Power of Now, and especially The Untethered Soul (which I reviewed in this channel) really launched me down a path toward healing. You should watch those videos on my channel and if they make sense to you, perhaps you might want to try a similar approach. Unfortunately there is no magic pill for you... you have to learn to accept your situation and do what you can to make it better. The good news is I believe you are on the right track, but you will need to be patient and work on yourself.
Lots of good content. Thank you. I instantly sought relief by talking teaspoons throughout the day of cream of tartar. It's mostly potassium. I think that's why your baking soda works. However cream of tartar is mostly potassium. I read somewhere we need 4500mgs of potassium, yet our diets rarely reach half that daily. 1tsp cream of tartar is about 450 mg. A banana is 300. A avocado is 5-650. Potassium creates HCl for digestion
Very interesting, thanks for sharing! I have not heard that before so I will check it out.
Holy shit! 11 fucking years of not being able to breathe. And this worked in a day.
Thank you.
I am still having some blockage and some clearing of throat but a lot of it is in control now. I will continue to use this, hopefully I recover completely.
I started using Betaine HCL a month ago which fixed by digestion (25+ years of suffering)
I was (mis)diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps. Gave me corticosteroids which never did anything.
Amazing! 👊 Really happy to read your comment. Hopefully you are on the right path now and are excited about the future.
Good to hear that you have fixed your problem how about your breathing problems how did you solve that help a sister
@@susanjatta1767 Not completely fixed. Still trying to find solution.
What works rn is doing Neti with saline water in the morning and using corticosteroids immediately after that.
I reduced the consumption of eggs which helped me a lot.
It’s related to the diet.
Can you elaborate on the breathing problems? I’ve been feeling a weird sensation in my upper chest like it’s hard to breathe. Sometimes feels bubbly. Like chest congestion without the actual virus. Plus all the other symptoms of LPR. I’ve heard LPR described as airway reflux. And I feel like irs gotten into my bronchial space. Is this what you had? I also get short of breath after meals.
What is alkaline water?
my doc just told me to lose weight and eat less. 57kg barely having two meals always sleeping with stomach begging for food, this video helpe. thanks.
Not sure if you find my newer video on the topic but I highly recommend it is you get a moment. It prints a newer plan I think it's really effective! I know it can't be frustrating working with doctors sometimes. Hopefully you find a plan that makes sense and gives you hope!
@@TheSAHDLife I'll look into ur video . Thank-you . I landed here bcz im tired of taking multiple meds per day and starving myself everyday. I just want to enjoy food. Ill see the video u mentioned.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I am so glad you made this video. I finally have some relief so I can concentrate on getting to the root cause of the LPR. Seriously so appreciate you ♥
My pleasure. I'm so glad you found this video! I know how frustrating it is 😣
Excited for you to be on the path of healing know. Feeling good feels good again!
hi, may i know what is your symptoms?
Suffering for 5 months and finally i found this video…. Thank youuuuu so much, keep healthy for you….. God Bless You!!! From Indonesia 🇲🇨
So glad you found the video! Fyi I DO have a newer one on my channel only a couple vids back. It should be easy to find.
Good luck on your path to healing. Be patient with it but you will feel amazing again!
Hey brother,Months later I figured it out
It was a gluten intolerance,alot of people get miss diagnosed with gerd and actually it's your body giving you an allergic reaction on your throat.I changed my food to gluten free and now the throat problem is gone.Crazy I know...
That is amazing. Thank you so much for following up with me I really appreciate it. And I'm so glad to hear that. I mean that sucks that it may be limits the beer and bread intake but at least now you know right?! Plus there's other things you can eat/drink instead!
What where your symptoms?
@Vincent Vega Burning throat,tightness and hard to swallow.Sometimes my tounge would swell up,it was horrible but now I'm 95% better!To think I thought I had LPR or GERD the doctors were waaaaayyyy off.
@@DadTheBoxer I'm glad to hear I'm going to try it! How long did it take for you to get to 95% after you cut gluten?
@@vincentvega3747 Within a week
I had a constant globus sensation in my throat and everything I ate made my esophagus inflamed. I went to the doctor and they sent me to a GI specialist. I had a scope done and their findings was a weak LES and irritated esophagus. He diagnosed me with LPR. All they do is prescribe me PPIs. I’ve been taking PPIs for 8 months. They help only a little. They keep my larynx and everything else from being inflamed and in pain. But the mucous in the throat is always there, the globus sensation, and the tightness in my throat. I’ve done the best I can to stay away from trigger foods. I’m not overweight, I would consider myself fairly healthy, I don’t smoke or drink. I love coffee so I’ve had to completely eliminate it because it seems to be my worst trigger. It’s so depressing, I’m trying so hard to not let it get the best of me. I’m praying hard to figure out why my LES is weak. That’s the main issues that’s not been addressed. I’ve never had heartburn or GERD. So I’m so confused as to how the LPR came about. I’m going to try the baking soda gargle today. Sorry for such a long comments, I think we all know how frustrating it is.
Yes, those of us who have had it KNOW how frustrating it is. I think you are on the right track... something irritates your stomach and the LES is weak. Do you drink lots of carbonated water? Have you tried eliminating gluten / dairy? It's tough because we get tests and we WANT them to find something so then we'll have an answer. It feels worse thinking the solution is something else... maybe something more sinister. It's not. You will get through this. The mind does a lot of damage to the situation as well... I think working on your mental well-being help enormously when it comes to this LPR (which triggers a lot of anxiety). Do you have resources you can turn to for this? If you need some suggestions let me know.
You got this! Let me know how the gargle / spray works out.
Hello, I feel the same like you! The same symptoms! I take too PPI, I don't smoke, I never drunk alcohol, I don't like Coffee, I don't drink sodas, I don't know what happens... And I have LPR. I m so frustrated and sad, the whole day having problems to speak... Im trying now the backing soda. I hope it helps!
@@salvatella1able did it help to u sir?
Did the gargle work for u
Try Famotidine but especially Gaviscon Advance uk version. There is a Pepsin test called Peptest maybe marketed by another name in other Countries other Coun
Omg thanks for this! No one understands what I'm talking about. And it's hard to explain, Even the ENT I saw didn't mention any of this and I was damn near dying over it!He said acid reflux, I've never felt any kind of pain like the one in my neck 😢
I'm glad you found it! It's frustrating, I know... It will take time to heal but I assure you, you will get through this. You might need to make a few lifestyle changes along the way but as you know now, it's totally worth it.
hi may i know what is your symptoms?
Another couple of questions. Does it matter if the Betaine has Pepsin or not ? When you figured out you have low stomach acid,did you ever get a test to see your Iron and B12 levels ? Did you also have Generalized Anxiety during your "bad" times (if so,what symptoms) ? thanks again.
No, I've found the Betaine doesn't need pepsin to be effective. Just get a reliable brand and it should work. I've had bloodwork done but to be honest I can't remember if B12 was checked. No red flags with the blood.
Yes, I've dealt with Anxiety for a lot time, especially during the bad times... the biggest symptoms for me were constant rumination as well as a constant pit in my stomach... another reason why I think these two things Gerd/Anxiety are often linked.... I definitely think working on the mental health is part of the ongoing solution for fixing gerd. It doesn't hurt anyway.
Hope that helps 👊 how you doing?
@@TheSAHDLife Thanks for the encouragement. I'm in the experimentation stage right now . I am starting tomorrow with Cold Infusion Marshmallow Root (which is supposed to be good for coating throat and intestines track and inflamation,heart burn,reflux etc). Tomrorrow I am starting Iron and B12 supplements. I took the home test for Iron and I'm deficient low. My symptoms are still fatigue,lightheaded,dull headache,jaw pain,anxiety,muscle aches,waking up early,easily startled,mind working overtime. I have to try and figure out what is the main issue Anxiety or low acid or low iron (anemia?). I am 100% convinced that the Anxiety triggers the GERD (or should I say LPR). Still have the occasional gurgling,acid bubble burps and sore throat (although the throat isn't quite as bad as last week).
Good evening. Do you think betamin hcl with “pepsin” is part of why you had lpr. Hcl with pepsin worked great but I have some form of lpr. Wondering if it’s the pepsin?
Hi there. No, I don't think so at all. I think the reason I had LPR was a combination of my diet, timing of how/when I ate, and my stress. Have you played around much with your diet? And how are your stress levels?
I have been suffering with loss of voice and not being able to sing in church as normal and I work as a CSR and talk on the phone 6.5 hours a day so the struggle has been real, so I finally found the courage to see an ENT where I was diagnosis with LPR and so he prescribed me Pepcid to take everyday, so I was searching other remedies and came across your video I'm going to try this starting today. Thanks for the information
So glad you found the video. Let me know if you have any success with it!
How is it now? Have you found a solution?
Have you found solution , I’m currently dealing with it.
You are a lifesaver... Hats off for the great work man! ❤
So glad you found the video! Appreciate the support 👊
My first time experiencing this but thanks to this video I got instant relief! Not a fun experience!
My husband is on clear liquid for 3 weeks with tightness in the chest went to ER and EGD was performed,still waiting for result. I saw your video pop up and he tried it and next day he can start eating some solid foods and he feels much better.Thank you so much for sharing your video.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing. Wonderful to hear. It's a long, slow journey, but once you get back on the right path you never look back. I'm still feeling better years later than I have pretty much in my whole adult life!
This only a babdaid 😞 need to figure out if it’s low acid in stomach hitia hernia or weak valve
Yeah exactly, it's just to help people get through the worst of the symptoms while they fix the actual problem.
Did you go to the Dr to get an Endoscopy to see which of those 3 items you mentioned is the problem?
Thank you so much, I had to subscribe, you’re so positive and seriously, an angel! ❤
Aw thanks! Glad you found the video. Please make sure to watch my newer video on the topic in the pinned comment if you get a moment. I have updated steps that have keep me feeling AMAZING over the years. Good luck!!
Wow, this simple remedy really helped! My symptoms have been voice weakness, scratchy voice, cough, tightness in throat, throat clearing and post nasal drip.....2 days ago I found this video...I did the baking soda gargle, and I put 1/4 tsp in water and drank it. My symptoms were 90% better immediately. I am on day 3, and am gargling morning and night and drinking a small amount of soda water, and I have just a little clearing of the throat, most other symptoms are gone...Thank you so much @theSAHDLife for posting this video.
Glad you found the video 👊 Thanks for the comment :) Not sure if you watched my newer video I linked in the pinned comment but I did a newer video where I shared more tips. Check it out! It's great the baking soda is helping but you might not want to take it long term due to the high sodium.
I have been suffering on and off over years now it doing mucus in my throat voice box issues did a nasal scope found it now they want me to do a ph trst
@@jameschester3986 Have you even done an elimination diet or at the very least tried to eliminate dairy/gluten?
u drank baking soda
it says you drank...do you have to drink a little or is it ok to just chug?
OMG dude I think you might just have saved my life 🙏🏾
Love to hear that my man 👊
Dealing with gerd is the worst. I also have a newer video I pinned in the comments which I highly recommend if you really want to fix the issue for good.
Omg, how thankful i am that i came accorss your video. Ive been suffering the globus feeling in my throat, the gerd symptoms (lightly) for the past couple of months. Just before going to bed i got this lump in my throat again and it put me in panic. As I listened , i ran and used your method- and IT WORKED INSTANTLY!!! Thank you so much!!’ 🙏❤️
Oh that's so amazing, I love it! Getting relief doesn't fix the problem but it's a sign you are on the right track. I have a newer video in the pinned comment that's still worth watching to make sure you fix the root of the problem. Be sure to check it out if you haven't. 👊
Did you use the spray or the gargle? Thanks! 😊
@@blakelyr9472 , i was in panic so i did both :) However, today every time i started to feel a lump again , i noticed that spraying in the nostrils works best for me. The release is immediate. So far I had used this method about 7 times today. But likethe video says - it is treating the symptoms, but i still need to get to the bottom of the cause. Still some work to do there.
Sure but do not use that baking soda which is full of chemicals and great for cleaning. Buy more expensive from pharmacy which is cleaner
The goal is to fix the stomach. The baking soda spray is just for temporary relief. If you focus on the stomach alone you ultimately shouldn't/won't even need the spray.
I did your recommendation just now. I hope it gives me the much sought after peaceful relief. How many times of using it will LPR be gone?
Hopefully it helps you! Please watch my newer video in the pinned comment for step by step tips on what to do next. The spray is just for temporary relief and will NOT fix your issue.
O.M.G! This is exactly what I have been suffering with for several months now! Thank you!!! I will try this method tomorrow morning!
So, did it help?
Share your experience with us. Did you also do the burp test from the other video? I'm always interested in those results too.
For the best results, be sure to use 8.8 pH alkaline water, available in the spring water section at most supermarkets, not tap water. According to a study conducted by Dr. Jamie Kaufman, the ENT who coined the term LPR, alkaline water deactivates pepsin on contact. I use alkaline water to hydrate at night and also while cycling. Do not to drink alkaline water within two hours after a meal, as it will slow down your digestion. (This restriction does not apply to spraying into your throat, however.)
Great comment, thank you for sharing!
Thxs for your comments. Can you use the alkaline water + electrolytes from Trader Joe’s that’s 9.5ph?
@@sfow4207 Yes, Trader Joe's 9.5 pH water will work as well. Dr. Kaufman recommends it. Another good option is 9.5 pH Smart Water. You can tell it from regular Smart Water because the printing on the alkaline version is black instead of blue.
doesnt really matter cause Baking soda makes it high PH... its very alkaline.. and It raises the ph of water so boil water is totally fine
I have since started using 9.5 pH alkaline water, the Smart Water brand in the plastic bottle with black graphics on it. The problem with baking soda is that it contains a lot of sodium and you run the risk of getting too much sodium in your blood. 9.5 pH alkaline water alone will do the trick.
I’ve been doing this for about a year and it’s instant relief. Can’t live without it.
Hi can I also try it. Does it really work
It was one of those things I was skeptical of.... And then I tried it. How lucky I felt to find it!
How much baking soda and how much alkaline water?
Do you use it sometimes or everyday?
@froglobster you should only need to use it for sure while. I used it everyday a few times a day for a couple weeks while I worked on the main issue.
can acid problem cause cough with mucus ? and what is lpr ?
Yeah absolutely. It's called silent reflux... Its result of GERD. I have a newer video in the pinned comment set shares the latest tips I used to fix all this stuff so be sure to watch the video if you can!
@@TheSAHDLife I see it pinned in this comment under this video by you.. I will sure watch it thank you
Young William Clark Eric Anderson Robert
Hehe I don't know who that is but the fact you threw the word young in there, well I appreciate that 👊😆
don't eat oily spicy outside food don't eat chips popcorn etc
Gargle with salt water 3 times a day atleast
Don't eat citric fruits like orange lemon grapes
Don't eat tomatto and never eat raw onion
Don't eat masala product like maggy pasta etc
Elevate your head side 6 inches atlease so create a slop so acid don't come up
Observe if diary milk curd lassi creates problem or not if do than leave them also
Never sleep or lay down after meal always lay down after 2-3 ours of sleep
Take dinner early and don't sleep before 2-3 hours after that
Take small meals 4-5 times a day don't take large meals only eat 60% of your capacity
Eat soft spiceless fruits
Take 1/3 little baking soda and drink when you feel irritation and drink every 3 days if possible only little soda not more
It will kill acid in your throat
I am suffering from LPR from one year so I have tried and observe every thing
Also consult ent doctor
Take 20 minute walk after dinner
Don't do hard exercise gym or weight lifting it will create more acid reflux
Don't clear your throat distract your self in some work
Drink small sips of water when throat stuck feel because clearing throat will irritate it further if you don't clear throat and sip water than your throat will heal in 1-2 day
Also don't drink too much water at a single time it will create more acid reflux
Remember this tips will greatly help but going to ent doctor is also required
Because many illness have same symptoms and all parts are deeply connected so you may never know your disease without doctor
Wow what a thorough comment, thanks for sharing! Your tips might very well help others.
Hopefully you have improved yourself. I have thank goodness! But we always have to be mindful moving forward.
Cheers!
Thank you for commenting this helpful tips ,I actually have lpr right now and 6months have passed nothing happened i still have it so i will try this thanks for sharing
I can attest to the water thing. I gave up water completely and now I only drink fresh raw milk and what a difference this has made. Eureka!
"Don't, don't don't, don't, don't....?!" OMG. May be one or two don'ts but the rest is just overboard.
@@Person-mh6xq now I just take anti acidity capsule before break fast and my pblm is under control
Literally just tried this and nearly cleared my discomfort immediately
LOVED reading this. So glad you found the video 👊
Is it still working for you?
I discovered I had silent acid reflux (LPR) a few weeks ago and after doing some research I found out that ACV is good for ppl with low stomach acid and so I tried this it to see if that’s the case with me and it worked. It’s been about a week and a half. I drink it every time I feel any acid coming up my throat and it gave me relief.
Drink it through a straw ppl.
Another tip to help with LPR is to gargle with water and baking soda. This will help get the pepsin out of your throat and relieve some of the symptoms that affects your ears and nose. Finally, use honey to help your esophagus heal. I’m so happy to have found a solution so quick because many ppl suffer for years with this. But don’t give up ppl be consistent and have faith that it will work.
So glad to hear it sounds like you are enjoying life again :) Tightness in my throat has come back again this week ...it's been awhile since it's happened, and my whole mood has been affected.
So thanks for your message! It'll help me out!
Sorry to hear that. I’m using honey to heal my throat. Life is getting back to normal. It’s a process but I’m happy to say that I’m getting better by the day.
@@jodisworld8971 Have you been getting local honey or anything special (raw honey etc)?
@@TheSAHDLife same thing happening to me. It’s tough.
I used raw honey. Table soon in the morning and at night. My throat is no longer sore or tight. What also helped me is Mr. Goh throat excercises for LPR. He’s also here on UA-cam. It’s a little weird at first but I believe it helped me. Try it!
I also experience this ..
Can i drink also the baking soda? On empty stomach?
I wouldn't drink it as it has a very high sodium content. There are better things to fix your stomach (watch my newer video in the pinned comment) but gargling it can help a lot of you have throat issues.
I just tried it now (the gargling method) and I can't say it did much.
That's good, hopefully that means you don't have LPR. Be sure to watch my newer video in the pinned comment, it has a game plan for fixing gerd.
Well this is a very welcome video! Without getting into all the detail, I've been there for about 6 years, was told mostly the wrong things, and it killed my professional singing career. Maybe now I can get back to it. Thank you!
So glad you found the video my friend! Do keep us posted with how it goes. Be patient with it, but I have a feeling you're going to start feeling better really soon!
Have you figured it out? Also professional singer with LPR 😭 baking soda is a great crutch for me but it is a very short term fix
I have everything now! Heartburn a little of bit of gassy and acid reflux and silent reflux! I did this and really help me!😮 I was a little skeptical but thank you very much for helping everyone!🙏🏻
So glad you found the video! If you haven't checked it out already I just created a new video on this you can find on my channel.

I have similar symptoms like acid in my throat but no heartburn… a slight dry cough…and my left nostril is always plugged.. been going on for about a week already… u think it might be lpr?? Will the baking soda method work?
I think it's worth a try. Has your diet changed? Are you eating right before bed or eating too much? Give the gargle a try and see if that helps... Then continue investigating that cause so you can heal and prevent it. Let me know how it goes for you if you remember
@@TheSAHDLife ok thank u for the reply
Hi, thanks for the solutions. I had dysphonia that caused by LPR (acid reflux). Can this method cure my symptoms? Very apreciated for ur response
It did for me. I can't say for sure about your case. I have a newer video in the pinned comments you might want to watch as I share everything that cured me. It has NEVER returned! I feel great still!
WOW!!! Seriously!! So thankful for finding this video and for your shaing it!! i have been waking up with reflux in my throat or mouth and was wondering why or what it was and so so greatful for this i will start trying the sodium barcarbonate! thank you!
Glad you found the video! In case you didn't see it, I highly recommend you watch my newer video on the subject in the pinned comment. It has a gameplan on exactly how to fix the issue that has helped a LOT of people. I still feel great fyi!! Good luck.
I think I have this, I was feeling something constantly rising up and down in my throat, and then I would cough. I also feel the phlegm in the back of my throat and post nasal drip, as well as a soreish throat. The doctor told me it was GERD but the only thing that has helped me was the ACV. I take that religiously and I have been experiencing a flare, but I think it’s cause I have high stress and anxiety. Hoping for the best as I’ve suffered with this for about a year now.😢
Thanks for sharing, and yes, it is the stress. My next video is for you so stay tuned! I was hoping to have it out tomorrow but it might be early next week. You will improve, I promise. All those symptoms you have are normal and they will go away in time. You just did a lot of damage and the healing process is slow.
Just a suggestion that might help you (as I've been going through this for 9 months). Because ACV is quite acidic, I would suggest taking the ACV pills instead. Since the issue with the esophagus is acid leaking up, you wouldn't want food or drink high in acidity going down your throat for now until it heals up. At least, that's been my experience.
Men over the age of 45 also make sure your screened for neck cancer , had these symptoms and was told it was just acid reflux .
Were you diagnosed with some type of throat cancer after years of gerd?
@@TheSAHDLife yes.
@@tracyl.8497were you a smoker
My biggest symptom is shortness of breath and feeling lump in throat/food stuck. I cant even exercise it sucks so much. Cardio/pulm found nothing. GU found I had esophagus inflammation but I never feel the classic gerd symptoms of heart burn.
It's frustrating isn't it? Have you modified your diet / lifestyle quite a bit to test for different triggers? Did you try the spray?
Sorry I didn't respond sooner, sometimes comments slip through the cracks!
That "shortness of breath", in my case, presents as an asthma attack. Your bronchial tubes are likely on fire from this digestive action going on that shouldn't be there. My research has led me to the pepsin gas needing a carrier to make it to your larynx. When your stomach acidity is low (higher than normal pH, 4-5), some bacteria can survive and colonize. I believe this infection produces the carrier gas that abets the journey of pepsin to the larynx. I'll be gargling the baking soda solution and taking 4 doses of apple cider vinegar a day with the hopes of making it past this infection. The only other alternative is a battery of antibiotics that will blow up my gut biome and force me to start over with probiotics. Couldn't get the help I needed from the doc. PPI's, PPI's and PPI's.
@@CavalierNSNhow are you feeling now?
Hi there How are you doing now? Your symptoms are same with mine which is frustating😢 i took ACV as well for 2 weeks not sure why the sore throat and rainy nose, mild flu come in sudden. I already cut all the sugar, carb and starch. I did everything. I hope to get back to normal life again 🥺
Pleaseee can Is it important to use alkaline water? Can i use just tap water with soda? Thank you so much for the video! I'm going to try it! You are giving me hope 🙏🏻
Yes you can just try gargling with baking soda and tap water. Then if that works maybe go out of your way to get some alkaline water at a pharmacy as it has the proper pH. Good luck!! Let us know how it goes.
I’m going to the doctor tomorrow, as I have the same symptoms you talk of. I don’t want to suffer for years with this as it is fairly recent. I’m going to do the becarb spray tomorrow. One question though is how much bicarb to water do I need for the spray bottle. Thankyou for sharing your experience.
I have the mixture in the description I hope you found it. Also be sure to check the video in my PIN comment as I made a new video on the subject.
Only gives me relief for one minute. And then returns ….. I hate this chronic dry cough !!!!!…
The only thing that cured me from this cough was lansoprazole. However ppi s are dangerous !!!!
Well I'm glad to hear you eventually found relief. It sure is frustrating. It's a quest to get off and stay off PPI's long-term. It takes a lot of lifestyle and changing of habits, for me anyways.
Hope you are doing well :)
Did the Dr do an endoscopy and tell you that your problem was "silent reflux" else you may be treating the wrong issue.
Thank you SO MUCH for this great tip!! I can't wait to try it! I feel so thankful to have found this topic on youtube and so many great tips on how to relieve symptoms. Very appreciated!
Glad you found the video! I think SO many of us have gone the traditional route with no success, and out of frustration have turned to other methods. And luckily in my case I was able to treat myself! I have a follow up video coming soon too, it should be up in the next week or so.
Did you try the spray?
You will definitely do way better job treating patients than medical incompetent doctors who are clueless. They really should learn from you!! 😀👍👍
Really appreciate the message! Thank you 😍
God bless you man. I was suffering so badly even this morning. I saw your video, rushed to kitchen, did the gurgling (as i dont have spray bottle) and there it is!! instant relief it is!! Thank you!! Please let me know a few more things. How often in a day do i need to do it? Will drinking water afterwards wash away the effect and bring the throat pain back? Is there any side effects that i should be careful about?
I'm glad to hear it my man! That's awesome. Honestly there's no right answer to your questions... do it as you see fit. It's a remedy though and not a solution... while it works you need to get to the bottom of the problem. I have a newer video in the pinned comment you should watch if you haven't yet. Good luck 👊
Yes, but what happens if you have both hiatal hernia that can cause acid reflux, and silent reflux , like LPR?
Honestly, I'm not sure about the hiatal hernia. That's beyond my scope and since I didn't personally deal with it, I can't share my experience with it :(
Raw milk works miracles for me. Also take the Boiron homeopathic throat formula when it acts up and that helps. I am gonna try the bs gargle as well. Thanks for this!
Raw milk eh? Where do you get it from... just a local health food store or? And do you have any idea why it helps?
Also I'm not familiar with the Boiron throat formula, I'll have to check it out.
Let us know if the spray/gargle helps at all!
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Aw that's awesome... You made my day! Thank you for the support, it really means a lot and makes all the effort worth it. 👊
Great help in urgent case.
What also helped me a lot is taking b12 1000 mcg each Day. It saved my life, I can eat whatever I want again and it does not cost much money. If it works for you, you should see a different within 3-4 weeks.
Sorry for my bad englisch, I am from Germany
That is great news! Love hearing things like this. It's difficult living with the discomfort for so long you almost get used to it.
Thanks for sharing your tip, you might just help someone!
But I would have to do that constantly. I am on a PPI because it was making me do sick that I felt like throwing up It was awful. But I know I will have to go off of pantoprazole eventually but not sure if I can now
Check out my newer video on the topic in the pinned comment. I too came off PPI's a couple years ago and I'm happy to say I am fully cured and feel great. The video has a step-by-step plan on what to do. Good luck!
Hai ihave only burning sensation in the throat especially in morning times i used antibiotica and gastric syrups iam very much worried can i use dis remedy
Yes of course you can try it out. Just try gargling some water with baking soda to see if that helps. If it does, then follow the rest of the advice in the video (and watch the video in the pinned comment!). Good luck.
After a full year of throat clearing,hoarseness,loss of weight and lump feeling am gonna try out this and hoping for better outcome ✌🏿
I really hope it helps you out. Part of me thinks it COULD be a reaction to something in my diet. I find when I eat more cheese/dairy my throat gets extra phlegmy. This did give me some relief which is awesome. Let me know!!
I’d like to add some “common sense” here. “Spraying” your throat with a solution of baking side and water, is not be nearly as effective as gargling
with the solution.
@@AnnaMishel You have to breathe the mist, and then...it's way better than gargling.
It didn work for me
@@TheSAHDLife I actually moved to a nebulizer. It's a far better solution than a nose spray.
Thank you for this video. I have been using this spray but never could get the a squeeze bottle open to clean and refill. I watched how easy you opened the bottle and now I know how to open my squeeze bottle.
It took me awhile to figure that out lol. I had to include those little clips, I'm so glad it helped!
Thanks for your explanation on why silent reflux doesn't cause heartburn. That really made sense. I'm going to try gargling with baking soda. My silent reflux was discovered when I had a stroboscopy to look at my vocal cords. The only symptoms I have are burping, clearing my throat and a hoarse voice. I switched to a low carb diet 3 months ago as I also have a fatty liver and while I'm losing weight and feel better my reflux has got worse. For me it seems to be the more fat content in the food the worse my reflux is after. I'm drinking apple cider vinegar which seems to have helped a little. The baking soda drinking test shows I have low stomach acid.
Thanks for watching and the comment! And that is very interesting. Do you strain your voice when you talk / sing?
Also, do you drink alcohol or eat much dairy? I'm just curious to what triggers for others might be. Those two for me (sadly) seem to be the ones that cause me symptoms.
Let me know if the gargle helps at all!
@@TheSAHDLife Yes, will do! With dairy its hard to tell. Sometimes I seem to able be able to have milk or cheese and other times they trigger it. I sing but my voice sounds substandard compared to how it used to and does a weird thing where it wobbles spasmodically after a reflux episode. I rarely drink alcohol but when I do it's in a crowded bar or club where I have to shout over the music which compounds my voice issues.
For me it is worse when I eat fatty food which makes me wonder if having no gallbladder can be the cause of this condition for me. The gallbladder is a sac containing very concentrated bile which main role is to digest fats. It started with dairy intolerance like and progress over a period of 10 years to any type of fat wether it is meat or dessert. If I minimize the fat intake the symptom is lessen a lot.
I hope you are only taking a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of warm water. It has to be diluted.
@@bebe60602 Take ox bile for your condition! It's very important.
1- when to take it? after food? night?morning?
2- Is it safe in the long run? any precautions?
i have this since 2020 jan and my throat feels like i am going to get flu but it is just irritated throat and no heartburn. i think the throat is not getting a chance to heal.
Doesn't really matter when you take it... I need to get in the morning middle of the day and before bed... Experimented with before and after meals it didn't really seem to matter though I preferred after meals.
It's not for the long-term. It's just a relief symptoms while you fix the issue. I have a newer video in the pinned comments you should check out when you get a few moments. It should answer all of your questions.
I recently got diagnosed with LPR. I tried alkaline and baking soda in spray bottle. I sprayed once in the throat. Since then my throat is burning and pain increased. What am I doing wrong here?
Interesting. I'm not sure. Perhaps you could just try a gargle instead of the spray and see if that also burns. I mean at the end of the day, fixing your stomach is the #1 priority. If you follow a path that fixes that, you won't even need the spray because your throat will heal. I have a newer video on the topic which I shared in the pinned comment in case you want to check it out. It has more tips on how to heal.
Thank you for this bit of advice. I was diagnosed with GERD but the so called medication only made it worse. I gave up on the doctor, felt he didn't hear me.
Doctors want to help, it's part of their oath right? But yeah sometimes they might not have the experience to find the right starting point for this particular ailment. But now you've found the video so hopefully you are on a path that works and makes sense to you!
@@TheSAHDLifedid you have gum and teeth issues?
@@JoycelynKoranteng No I didn't. I wear Invisalign trays every night to bed, perhaps they helped protect my teeth... but I also think they made me clench my teeth which caused some of my swallowing issues. It's all gone now though!

Haha aw thanks. They are just the best! I would never have guessed having two daughters was as good as it is!
Man that was super cute 🥰
Well shot video and great back ground. Thanks for this!
Appreciate your comment, thanks!
Baking soda alkalizes water so... whats the purpose of alkaline water? And why spray and not drink?
Supposedly the spray hangs around a little longer and can also hit the nasal passage. The purpose I believe is to achieve the proper PH level. The LPR doc on UA-cam goes into it deeper if you want to learn more about it.
Can you help us with one thing? Here you help us balance the acid with an alkaline solution, which makes sense. However, in your follow-up video "The MOST Effective Treatment for GERD and Silent Reflux" you suggest that it's in fact low stomach acid that causes the symptoms. Isn't it a contradiction?
The message is the same in both... the symptoms are a result of low stomach acid. It seems like the low acid causes the lower esophageal sphincter to relax causing weak but still powerful acid to rise up in the esophagus causing damage and all kinds of issues in the throat. Balancing that acid in the stomach is the most important priority whether you have GERD or LPR. Hope that helps.
Thank you for this tip.
Will try gargling with baking soda, hopefully that will help provide some relief. I deal with post nasal drip, along with constant mucus in the throat (at least that's what it feels like), which causes me to constantly want to clear my throat. In turn it makes my throat really raw/sore to the point where it affects my voice quite a bit. This has been going on for a couple years now, and I was told by my ENT that I have allergies, and acid re-flux. I was given an acid reducing medication, which I started but stopped shortly after (I'm bad at remembering to take pills on the daily). Will try getting back on that, along with the baking soda tip. I'd love to be able to talk properly again and not get up with a clogged throat, and constantly try to clear it. It's literally driving me insane the longer it persists.
Hang in there... Sounds like a very similar story. Do let me know if it gives you any relief. Have you changed any of your lifestyle habits or played around with diet (e.g avoiding dairy, etc) trying to fix it? Just curious.
@@TheSAHDLife I cut back on dairy (not completely) a couple years ago, but didn’t get any relief. My ENT said I should cut back on spicy stuff, and caffeine which are my go-to’s. I have tried cutting back on caffeine as well, with no relief. Hot foods is a hard one to give up, I like my hot sauces😓 trying not to eat so close to bed time too, which is a bad habit of mine.
@@TheSAHDLife did you have post nasal drip as well? My nose always runs, on and off throughout the day. Antihistamines don’t seem to do anything, I was also prescribed a corticosteroid nasal spray, which again does nothing.
@@NsIX3 Ya I do still have that issue, constant mucus production. Although it's tough to say how much is related to the weather. I find that cheese/dairy changes the consistency of it, making it thicker which is when I really notice it. It's so tricky to say exactly what the problem is from. Alcohol has always been my go to as I love a glass of wine or big glass of IPA, so am still running tests. I find after a good 24 hour water fast though I feel good, so I'm tempted to try a keto run here soon and see how that goes. I think stress/anxiety is a factor too.
@@NsIX3 It sure is a frustrating thing to deal with isn't it? I've always had allergies too and it just feels like my body is allergic to something... I have successfully cut back on eating before bed which gets easy once you get used to it. This has helped. Getting better at fasting which feels great for many reasons helps get through any minor hunger pangs which I used to fear.
Thanks! Just. THANKS!
Aww, I really appreciate that. Thank you 👊
Yo!!!!!! Thiss works 😢😢 omgsh THANK YOU
Aww yes! Music to my ears 👊
So glad it helped. Now that you've found relief it's time to fix the actual problem and start healing. It recently came back for me after stressful times so I'm back to more whole foods and mindfulness and boy life sure feels better when I take care of my body. You got this!
How much baking soda to water, please?
It's in the video, it's also in the description and the pinned comment. Good luck.
Just got back from the ent told me i have this. I dont have a burn just drawing phlegm constantly will this relieve the need to constantly do that its ruining my life. Thanks.
Yeah I think it's a good place to start. It'll relieve the symptoms but you will still need to figure out what is causing all your phlegm in the first place. I think there's a good chance it may be something in your diet. Have you ever tried eliminating certain foods (dairy/gluten etc)?
Thank you! Have had two upper GIs, two upper endoscopies, a 24 hour Ph monitoring test (awful), and was diagnosed with a lower esophageal sphincter that was not allowing acid to bother my lower esophagus but to shoot acid up into my voice box. I failed three pulmonary function tests and have had Afib and PSVT and palpitations and an anxiety misdiagnosis -- and I am given PPIs but the only one that helps is Nexium but TRICARE military hospitals won't give it to me because it is too expensive. So I will try your concoction. If for no other reason than to spare myself more tests and drugs I dont need like bronchodilators and whatever they give to people with COPD and to avoid losing my voice forever.
Thanks for sharing. That sounds very frustrating. Let me ask you, what are your main 1-3 symptoms? I always wonder when I hear a case like yours if perhaps, like me and a lot of other people, you were treating the wrong problem. Have you tried the burp test yet (from my other video)?
I am going to work on my follow up video this this week, so hopefully I can get that up at the end of the week or early next week. Stay tuned for that!
@@TheSAHDLife I just found your channel last night so no havent tried it yet. Main 3 symptoms are: 1). Run out of air after a couple seconds while talking (especially when in a medical environment as I have white coat hypertension but alos when I am nervous or anxious or having a reflux issue) FYI -- just gave myself the Bruce Protocol test at the gym and VO2 max estimated 37 that's with arthritis issues is 2). Feeling like I am choking in throat at times3). Frequent soreness in throat and hoarseness. Same symptoms for 30 years....... Still otherwise fit, daily high intensity exercise etc
The girls are absolutely adorable!
Aw thanks. It's so fun to put them in each video.
I really appreciate the comment and I hope the video helped in some way!
I'm so glad I came across this video. I have been suffering with LPR now for close to 3 years. I'm in sales and the voice loss has damaged my career to the point of no return, I lost my confidence because my voice keeps letting me down. I pray that after trying this method that it gives me a positive way forward and I can get back into my career as sales genie. I just want my voice back but it's really been hard as the throat reflux keeps on attacking me. Watching all the way from South Africa. Thank you
I hope you find some relief! You might also want to try and find a local speech-language pathologist. I think for a lot of us, we strain and use a lot of effort while we talk and the damage might directly be to the larynx. So in addition to trying the spray, perhaps Google 'swallowing exercises' or 'swallowing exercises for dysphagia' and go down that path as well. Let's double down the effort on you and get you back and running at 100% ASAP. Thanks for watching and commenting :) Have an awesome day (From Vancouver Canada)!
How are you now i am suffering same from 2years
I am too,
How are you now
Have you tried Lax Vox? Check it out on UA-cam. Absolutely amazing. I had awful problems with hoarseness. I was in field sales, but after covid spent hours on the phone from home. Went to a voice coach and found out about Lax Vox. Also, sternocleidomastoid massage. Instant and permanent relief. 😊
Im waking up with sour saliva yellowish and its driving me crazy. Its a nasty salty taste. No heartburn pls help im scared
It could be from a lot of things my friend.... Do you eat right before bed? Are you taking any medications? Have you worked with your Doc? Did you watch my other video on GERD, have you tried the burp test?
i have little red bumps in back of my throat from acid reflux. and i am doing everything to get rid of this problem but i am still afraid if it will get worse. i took medicines for acid reflux and it worked when i was taking it but now when i am not taking medicine my acid reflux got much worse and my throat and stomach is burning so much . but i tried this baking soda remedy yesterday and it kinda worked but please tell me something what should i do now to get rid of this problem permanently.
I have a newer video in the pinned comment where I offer all the tips that fixed me. Check it out!
Is it safe to spray the alkaline and baking soda solution into your lungs? Will it burn you? Also can you tell me how it feels like. Also, do I need to change the solution out daily to avoid infection and how do i store the solution.
I don't believe it goes directly to your lungs. It hits your throat and slides down.... hitting your vocal chords etc.. It shouldn't burn. It just feels like a breathe with a little bit of moisture. Nothing uncomfortable. No you don't need to change the solution that frequently. I would just try it for a day or two and see if you get any relief. If you DO get relief then worry about the little things. It's pretty stable to sit in the container I would say for at least a couple weeks.
@@TheSAHDLife Ok thanks, I am going to try this soon, I only have two symptoms which is a lump in my throat and mucus stuck in my throat. I am praying that this spray gets rid of this 🤞🤞. Also, right below my Adam's apple, I can feel a lump when I put my finger on that spot. Is this a normal symptom?
@@yunusdotty113 Sadly I do not have answers for you on that. You should definitely go seek professional a opinion for the lump.
Good luck and let me know how it goes!
@@TheSAHDLife Ok, in the UK, we have different type of baking soda called dr oetker. I assume that will work aswell?
@@yunusdotty113 I imagine as long as it says sodium bicarbonate it should be fine. Let me know if it helps!
Hi, I have a few questions, my main symptoms are mucus and a lump below my Adam's apple and constant swallowing when sleeping. Will Spraying this harm you in any way, and do you have to spray when you inhale. Also, do I replace it with a new mixture everyday and how do I store it. Thanks.
It shouldn't harm you in anyway no, and yes you inhale while you spray. The mixture is fine for a couple weeks I'm sure.
Let me know how it goes! Also, try and get to the bottom of your mucus. Have you tried eliminating dairy / gluten?
@@TheSAHDLife I dont think dairy is causing the mucus and the pepcid in my throat is probably irritating something causing mucus to form. Hopefully this spray can get rid of it, I have high Hope's as alot of people are saying it worked for them
@@TheSAHDLife I cannot find the spray bottle you are using since I am in the UK, any other alternatives, can I use a nasal spray where you press the side with 2 of your fingers.
@@saiyan5360 Definitely. Anything works. Even just gargling to start until you get a spray should help.
@@TheSAHDLife I'm going to order the saline mist spray for £30 ffs, from amazon, In the video, you used a tool when transferring the alkaline solution from the glass into the bottle, is that necessary or can I just open the cap and pour it in from my glass, also do I have to be cautious about any bacteria
Do what makes you happy and stop stressing. Keep your phone rest well, go for swimming, vacation, don’t smoke only eat healthy helps a lot. I’m a victim it’s not easy but we will overcome by staying happy. Going out with friends too. I’m hoping one day I’ll be free. We are many God help us. Amen 🙏
Loving the vibes, thanks for sharing 👊
Once you get control of the acid reflux, how long does it typically take from the throat irritation and raspy voice to get better?
I felt symptoms improve within a week or two!
Thank you very much ! This was very helpful to me
Glad you found the video 👊 in case you missed it be sure to watch my new video on the subject. I have it pinned in the comments. It has a newer more thorough game plan for people.
UPDATE: I just released a new video on GERD/LPR which I highly recommend you watch. Watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/9TVMcS42se0/v-deo.html
I hope this video helps you find relief or at least gives you hope about the future. Things WILL get better for you.

Just thought I'd share this. After 7 months of LPR, two doctors - an ENT - Nexium, Pepcid, ACV, baking soda etc...I FINALLY found relief THIS WEEK with BETAINE HCL - in 24 hours!! FINALLY, no phlegm in throat, sinus congestion or hoarse voice! Well let's call it 90% better. Will stay on for two weeks+ which is supposed to regulate stomach acid back to normal area!! TRY IT! Betaine Hydrochloride plus pepsin. Don't ingest anything to reduce acid. Take the Betaine in a capsule so as to protect esophagus on the way down.
Wow thank you Sir. I had my LPR since 2015. This is helpful
Please give us the ratio water/bicarb? Thanks
Hi! It should be in the description of the video. Sorry I'm just replying via Mobile and it's hard for me to copy paste. Hope it helps!
@@theavanrensburg8196 I don't think it really matters. Just a little Baking Soda i water will increase its PH level a lot. I've been gargling with it AND salt water, drinking alkaline water - PH 9.5, taking Betaine HCL and digestive enzymes at every meal, Vitamin D3, K2, Zinc, Magnesium, Berberine, serrapeptase, and either Reflux Gourmet or Gaviscon Advance after every meal and at bedtime for that Sodium Alginate reflux raft that forms blocking off the LES and I'm STILL getting nasal drip and voice issues now. Either this isn't LPR or none of this is helping. Getting that CONSTANT urge to cough now as well because - I think - nasal drip pouring onto voice box? IDK but about to throw in towel and just try to live with it the best I can. Very discouraged. Also take a teaspoon of Honey and/or peanut butter a few times/day. IDK...
Two months ago I had an endoscopy and soon after I totally lost my voice. Doc prescribed PPI (pantoprazole) in the morning and at night which helps some. It is now about 75% back but I am very hoarse and constantly cough and clear my throat. Last night I ran across this video and decided to try the gargling method and it almost instantly stopped my coughing. Today I am going to try the spray bottle for my nose and see if that helps. I have tremendous will power and am going to start changing one thing at a time to see how I improve. I will update you weekly if you would like.
That's amazing!! You know, after putting through all the effort of making this video, comments like yours make it all worth it.
So yes, please keep me posted! A lot of others read these comments and your story could help someone else take action too. Time to start enjoying life again right!?
@@TheSAHDLife One week update: The gargling and nose spray was my silver bullet. After a couple of days of this my coughing and throat clearing has been reduced by 98%! Now I only have to do it maybe once or twice per day, or when I can feel my throat start to burn a little. Also, chewing gum with xylitol in it helped a TON when my throat starts to get a little dry. Your suggestion of cutting down water with meals also is a good one and has helped out a lot. I have also chosen to greatly reduce the amount that I was eating at every meal by at least half in order to get full digestion quicker and eliminate any acid reflux. I have also thrown in intermittent fasting and apple cider vinegar in the mornings in place of a PPI that was prescribed. Also raising the head of my bed with a wedge pillow was the nail in the coffin for my problems. I have never slept better after the raise in my bed. All of these things together has me on the road to recovery and my voice is almost totally restored. Thank you for this video my friend and keep up the good work...
@@mattarbogast24 That is music to my ears my friend! Thank you so much for keeping me updated. I am so happy to hear that and I really loved your tip about the gum. I hope moving forward you (and I) are able to keep this at bay because it sure is annoying to deal with when it's at full force isn't it? Man, your comment was a great way to start my day!
Hey dude, just wanted to check in and see how you are doing? I've had some annoying little flare ups... frustrating indeed. But your message gave me some good motivation!
@@TheSAHDLife Hey! Doing better every day, and my voice continues to improve. I have seen where they say it could take several weeks or months for it to come back but thats OK. I have had to break down everything that I eat and drink, the times that I eat or drink it and how much I eat or drink. After I changed some things according to your video I have not had any flare ups. It is really all about WHAT and WHEN you eat or drink. When you find what your triggers are it is easy to keep this at bay. Keep pumping man, you can beat this!
How long does it take for the mucus to go away after using this treatment?
Well it's not really a cure for the mucus. It can relieve symptoms right away, but I found it mostly helps deal with the pain or discomfort some of us experience with swallowing so we can fix the problem itself which is creating the mucus (allergies? GERD? Post nasal drip?).
Have you played around with your diet at all trying to solve your mucus problem?
Are u also getting mucus after food specially????

Hi hope everything is going well …. Did you have any when speaking from lpr this thing is driving me crazy
Hi, it is going well, thanks! Did I have trouble when speaking? Mine never hurt from eating, drinking, or talking, but every swallow sucked. So it was the in between mostly. I mean there was general pressure and discomfort I suppose. But it was really when I gulped it sucked.
This is caused by the small amount of acid, bile and Pepsin coming up into the throat. So why would you want to take something with more Pepsin, which will aggravate it more. Seems counter productive.
The thought behind it is that when your stomach acid gets weak in your stomach the les weakens and the acid gets shot up into your esophagus. So you actually want to add more acid to your stomach so that sphincter tightens because of the extra pressure and therefore acid won't get released into your esophagus.
I’ve had Gerd for a year before I started to notice Lpr . The doctors nowadays really suck and I had to find out the hard when I went to check out my throat which started to produce excess mucus /soar throat/ all the symptoms listed in video. No help. The nurse looked at me like I was stupid. It ridiculous. I’m 16 and started suffering from this at around 15. I drink occasionally and vape. But I was able to do those things without feelin symptoms at one point. Now I just get a tight throat and feel like I have something dripping in my throat whenever I’m in public. I hate this . I need help but no one seems to know enough about this disease. It’s sad
I know it doesn't feel like it right now but you will get better it might just take a bit of time. You might have post-nasal drip... do you have allergies? Allergy medicine could help also. I wrote to your other message so you can just respond to all of these questions in one answer if you'd like.
Yea I definitely had some bad eating habits during the pandemic. I wud eat in bed a lot and fall asleep after a big meal. I feel dumb for not addressing it sooner. I’m not overweight, I drink moderately, stay up late most of my nights, but the symptoms of Gerd started getting better after I started taking Omeprazole. I didn’t like takin it every single day but whenever I stoped taking them it wud cause worse symptoms. When I went to my doctor they didn’t even mention lpr or didn’t even bother to ask about the throat pain. It’s crazy what a little research can do compared to the health industry.
@@TheSAHDLife I have gargled the baking soda with bottle water and gave me instant relief. I will try to find an nasal spray bottle and use actual alkaline water for more results
Oh you are so young. Do one thing start walking in sun prefer half hour daily, take vit D3, take whole butter milk mixed with water not too Cold. Add 40 pct warm water you will cure without ppi. I hate seeing such a young person with this horrible disorder. Know that it happens for imbalances of acidic and alkaline. For your pH you will be fine
hey man i feel your pain i had it at 23 and still at 28 now post nasal drip and sore throat one sided
The baking soda rinse helps. I've been doing it for a while before even watching this video..but avoiding acid foods (including citric acid) helps me a lot too. Question though - if you use a spray in your nose, aren't you supposed to make sure it's sterile, as well as the container? I heard of a woman dying from using non-sterile water in a netti pot.
That sounds scary! Based on my research I didn't see anything too concerning. But I guess depending on ones on existing conditions and the local water quality it might be a good idea to be mindful of this.
How long have you been dealing with this? Have you been getting long term results? I just started Keto yesterday so I will update the comments with the results from this.
I boil the water. I heard about that story too.
There may have been something else going on in that story. Maybe a contaminated Netti pot that wasn't regularly cleaned?
@@TheSAHDLife I heard a story about a woman getting some kind of brain worm from using tap water in her sinus wash. I'm using distilled water 💦.
@frank S indeed, however, the shit in most tap water should be the object of some concern. EWG publishes some interesting data in that regard.
After suffering for a full year, I’ve finally been diagnosed with Silent Acid Reflux. I’m going to try this, hopefully it relieves my symptoms.
Good luck! It's 'tough when you are throwing bling darts trying to find relief. There are many things to test out but hopefully you can get some relief first.
Let me know how it goes!
@@TheSAHDLife Hlo borther, I will be very grateful if you will answer my question.. I request you to please answer my question, as it can change my life
I have constant bad breath(literally 24*7) and the bad breath has always the smell of what I have ate, If I ate eggs, i will have egg smell coming from my mouth for the next 3-4 hours and it's the same case with other foods, I do get heartburns when I eat something oily or spicy.. what problem do I have according to you🙏🙏
@@polyloly2120 Hello my friend! Well that is a very difficult question without knowing more information...
The first thing would be how much food are you eating? Perhaps your portion sizes are too big. Are you drinking liquid with your food? You should keep that minimal.
Do you have any food allergies? Perhaps the foods you are eating, your body does not like them. You might have to spend a couple weeks and heal your gut before you can find relief. You might need to avoid acidic and spicy foods... alcohol.... coffee. Perhaps eating some fermented foods would really help.
I also suggest you watch my GERD video and do the burp test!
I hope this helps you!
@@TheSAHDLife Thank you Sir
So I have allergies and acid reflux my throat has been sore for like 5 years and in my throat if you shine a flashlight it shows irritated throat with bumps and it’s been like that for years I’ve had dozens of doctors appointments and they couldn’t tell me what it was they are clueless ohio doctors I want these bumps gone
That sounds frustrating. Have you tried elimination diets etc? Did you happen to see my other video on GERD, in it I suggest a quick burp test you could try that might give you a different approach.
But baking soda can get worse the acid reflux to long term (sorry for my bad english)
Yes but if you have severe throat pain the baking soda is just to help temporarily relieve that pain while you fix your stomach by adding acid. Start with the burp test to figure out what your problem is then follow the tips from the other video as I mentioned in the other comment. And be patient. It takes time to heal.
Hey man! Great video, i deal with Lpr everyday & this helps! But i have a question, where can i find a spray bottle that i dont have to cut open? All the saline bottles at Walmart dont have tops you can unscrew
I was able to just pop the top of an old saline bottle with a knife. Give it a try if you've got one. They just press that top part on usually. Otherwise you COULD neti pot it. Or just try the spray / gargle for a couple days and IF you notice a difference then invest or MacGuyver a method to spray your nose.
Thanks so much for the comment and for watching!
@@TheSAHDLife I got a bottle of SinuFlu ready rinse. And mixed together baking soda and alkaline water. The only issue is, the "sprayer" on the bottle is like a big hose, so instead of a fine mist going up my nose its the water and baking soda. Would it still work if i squirted the water up my nose or if i gargled the alkaline water & baking soda?
@@andrewsmith3257 Yeah I think it should for sure! Try it before bed. Let me know if you find any relief!
@@TheSAHDLife ok i tried it it seems to help! But i cant exactly inhale the water but it helps the burning/throat pain with the gargle thanks bud
@@andrewsmith3257 Awesome man! So glad to hear it. Yeah try and get creative with the nose spray if you can. I think it can really help too.
Thank you. I've had LPR for 10 years and I will get to making this. ❤
Oh good luck! I hope it works for you. Let me know!
