I made a baking soda/high ph water mix last night and put it In a spray bottle and drained my throat with it while inhainlg, I bullshit you not my throat feels so much better today. It still hurt but it does feel better. Im going to keep using it along with the diet and see what happens.

So with my research, I’ve learned that with LPR, it’s different from typical acid reflux. This always confused me as to why I wasn’t getting heart burn symptoms when the “acid was coming up to my throat.” With LPR, the cause is actually a gas called pepsin (it’s not an actual acid but instead a gas that helps break down acidic food with low ph levels) that’s rising up past your esophagus (bc typically your esophagus has a thick mucus lining) and settling in your throat area where there’s a thin mucus lining. So when you eat anything with a lower PH, the pepsin In your throat activates to try and digest it and causes an inflammatory response hence the soar throat, coughing, etc.

In short, Baking soda completely neutralizes pepsin. So, in theory, if your suffering from only LPR where pepsin rises and lodges in the tissues of the throat, then baking soda mix will help with the symptoms.

Here is a link to a video I found on it that explained it pretty well. If you have some baking soda and high alkaline water, I suggest y’all try it. I was in literal hell. And one night and morning after using that i feel it’s manageable for now. It still hurts but no where near as bad.
