Anyone have reflux that gets into throat? My Dr scoped me and saud evidence of it w inflammation and swelling. As it seems a little harder to swallow things. Sometimes little bits get stuck.
The issue is I do not want to go on a ppi. Been there done that. Had been on for 6 yrs. It took me over a month to wean off. And my dumbass Dr, then, never told me you're only supposed to be on it for 1 mo tops. As it can cause a s load of problems. (prolly bc he's an md and is clueless Af, as usually are)
So I need to keep the stuff out of my espoogus until my fibroid has shrunk, which I'm working on with another Dr. My kinesiologist suggested baking soda daily, which I started yesterday. Any other things, natural things, that have worked on a temp basis?

over on healing well there is a member called astroman who is familiar with reflux and natural treatments
he swears by d-limonene as a natural way to coat and protect and thereby reduce the inflammation in the oesophagus allowing it to heal
he also advocates raising the head of the bed by 4-6inches to help keep the acid in the stomach while you sleep - as it can tend to creep up again at night

Baking soda daily can also be problematic. Look it up.

For my nephew, they gave him aloe vera juice and coconut water to help soothe his esophagus.
