Hey ! My name is Christine and I am a singer- I have been suffering with LPR the last 3 years - I found something that works for me and I would like to share - if I can help even just one person I figured writing this would be worth it.
I learned LPR is really less about the acid liquid coming up and more about the Pepcid vapors. The latest studies being done talk about how with LPR sufferers, Pepcid vapor can come up at any time day and night and damage cells- before they used to think Pepcid was inactive - after further studies they discovered the Pepcid just being present on the cell damages the cell on the inside and the outside of each cell... One vapor bath (I'll call it) won't kill the cell but almost kills it over the course of 12 hours after the initial vapor bath - so that's why when you are feeling the burn for so long after the event you don't know why- it's Bc the Pepcid is infiltrating into the cells long after... Here is where the acid comes into play - just think - Pepcid plus acid or acidic food- equals explosion - drinking apple cider vinegar after a Pepcid vapor bath is like throwing a match in a room filled with gasoline- it makes the already damaged cells even worse - further damaging and killing cells.
What they discovered so far to help(and what helps me) is a couple things
- 1 - alkaline water 8.8ph and higher will help wash the Pepcid off the cells -so a bit after a meal I sip and gargle 9.5 ph water- this helps stop there from being an explosion of you eat anything slightly acidic later- it also helps the cells from being damaged 12 hours after !
(Side note) - I also try not to over eat-( I found I can be full but if I gorge myself with food it isn't good lol)
-2- I haven't tried this yet- Bc the alkaline water and not over eating and staying away from super citrus stuff has been working - BUT - the other thing that has been discovered is Sodium Alginate - when mixed with baking soda and crushed tumms causes a raft barrier in the stomach that brings down the vapor count dramatically- some people are mixing this together to take it the cheep way- if u want to go the expensive route - Gaviscon Advance from the UK ONLY - is the mixture that works to create the raft barrier- you can buy it off eBay and Amazon - but it can get pricy - but apparently this really helps lower the ph acidity of the vapor to .05 - which is amazing!
Like I said I haven't tried it yet - but people are loving it...and saying it helps- I'm going to try it soon.
I hope this helps someone - know that you are not alone- and it is possible to live a happy life with this- sometimes I think I got this so that I would eat better ... Food is my only vice - now I am off the candy, gluten, and all the junk- and I feel great/ you find out what sets it off for you over time - but while you are figuring it out/ it is so helpful to be aware of what is happening in your body- and it was especially helpful to know that now there are tactics to get rid of the pain!
