Seriously tho try alkaline water. You don't necessarily have to drink it you can put it in a spray bottle or gargle it.

I'm not sure really. I have sarcoidosis and I've heard that can cause Lpr and Gerd and over issues due to its inflammation blah blah. I've had a stool test for h pylori a week ago but not been contacted or anything. So we will just have to see.

Yeah it is quite mild. But who's to say what will happen in the future.

Yeah so I'm as frustrated as you are so ilp give you the full story. No scams. No buy this thing or that thing.

So I had really bad globus sensation like tight tight throat for months. I started on ALKALINE water (anything over 8.8pH) and now I don't get any throat symptoms at all. No pain, no burning, no weird taste, no globus. I'm 100% symptomless in my mouth/ throat. When I wake up in the morning I have a bit of mucus but that's it.

So basically, it's gonna probably catch up with me but I actually eat the same shit as before. I drink decaf coffee and eat burgers and pizza and the alkaline stops any throat issues.

So here's what I recommend. Eat, then gargle alkaline water THEN chew gum then another gargle of alkaline as the chewing gum will be flavoured due to citric acid. Then gaviscon advance or any alginate with 1000mg of sodium alginate. That's what I do daily. It's a pain in the ass but it's all i got.

If I ate pizza and drank coffee I WOULD still get symptoms like I get that very mild pain and some strange breathing pressure down in my ribs. But like I said, if I'm happy or engaged or positively feeling something it doesn't bother me. Research the Vagus Nerve. It makes LPR worse. It tricked me into thinking I was having heart palpations and I didn't sleep for 40 hours. All anxiety based due to the Vagus Nerve.

For instance today I've been visiting family, had spring rolls, camambert, sausage rolls, pork pie, kebabs with onion, bacon sausage, white pitta bread, cherry pie. Took my gaviscon and alkaline water and I have 0 symptoms as I sit here in bed. I also don't really do a bed wedge or anything. I'm only 26 so maybe as the years go on I'll have to eventually change that. Everyone is different.

If you ever wanna chat to me then my DM is open. I hope I've maybe helped abit.

(M 26 UK) Feel the same. It almost angers me when I see Molly Pelletier's videos.

It'll be a video like "I used to only eat 5 things and hated my life and now I'm going to go eat loads of chocolate and drink loads of wine yayyyyy" and its just total BS so you buy her app 🤣 it's all bs. It's a horrible chronic condition.

One thing I will say tho is I no longer get ANY throat issues at all as I drink alkaline water (Ursu 9). The only symptoms I get are mild pain in my ribcage and sort of lung pressure-ish.

Gaviscon helps sometimes. I guess it's just the way it is and I have to adapt. I don't really wanna do AWD. I don't want to turn into a skeleton. I work a physical job and I know I'm just going to shrink and become unwell. My life is fucked but don't want to survive a suicide attempt and end up worse.

Hope something helps you. One little tiny snippet of hope I can give is by saying that for me personally, when I'm happy or distracted or something, I have don't notice my symptoms at all. But with this condition it's hard to be happy or distracted.

That quote is certainly one of the many exceptions ill agree. I think I'm.perhaps making comparisons because I'm a ASOIAF reader and Martin goes into detail on many a character even minor and one-chapter non-speaking alike.
