I saw an ENT (tells me he can’t see any issues. So I go to GIT dr, he just says without examination to take PPIs, why on earth can’t I find a doctor like you?
I’m so happy to find your video Dr. I had Covid in November and following that constant discomfort in throat, vocal cords, lump in throat, tightening in upper chest. I will try this. ENT doc said it is acid reflux, gave a sheet of paper and sent me in my way. Sheet of paper was about diet and avoiding straining voice and throat chest area. No education or dietitian help. Lost a lot of weight on the diet. Since early May 2024. Yet symptoms continue with some improvement. On a PPI, twice a day, concerned about long term problems that might contribute to (weak bones, poor absorption of nutrients) . Will use this to help heal oesophageal area and vocal cords but hope to decrease or get off the med eventually. Will give this a go. Anything I’ve learned about this condition LPR , has been on RU-vid. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Dr in a clear consice way 🙏
I had mine done in 2017. And I still cannot vomit or burp. And I have such crippling pain from the gas and bloating. It's horrible.sometimes. I wish I never had the surgery at all.also I do feel like I'm getting acid. Reflux, occasionally again and. My Vegas nerve whatever during the surgery. So now I have gastropricis. And I really wish I know what to do now. Because yes, I feel better because I don't vomit every day. Apparently my stomach had Moved up under my ribs So he brought down and so did place. But he told me this was gonna make my life so much better. And I think that's not true. And he didn't even explain what the side effects would be. I need to see a new g. I surgeon and see what is happening. I have stomach pain all the time. I have to go to the ER quite frquetly and I have problems swallowing a choke On my food quite frequently 0:49 a😢nd it's a nightmare.! My life is definitely not so much better.like he promised
I gargled baking soda and alkaline water for 2 days morning and night. 30 minutes after gargling my nose get dry and clogged and I can barely breathe. I am wandering if anybody experience that?
I can’t believe that the pharmaceutical giants didn’t think of this one. It took 3 months before I had a glimpse of a diagnostic. Pepsin doesn’t show anywhere but the symptoms are real. It is so easy to manage when you know how. I seriously thought I had sinuses infection and earaches as never knew that stomach reflux could go all the way to upper respiratory system. Made my own with 100 ml of alkaline water ( ACTIPH in UK) and a quarter of a t-spoon of bicarbonate soda ( as it’s called in the UK). Let see how it goes.
First day of trying this. I have teriible sore throat almost all day long and i can feel it when the acid pepsin starts attacking my throat. Dont even have to eat anything. Right now its so bad that eating a banana feels like swallowing a big rock.
One thing worked for me: I excluded saturated fats and its like a miracle, my voice is 5x stronger. louder and throat feels way more open! God bless you
This works!!!! I use this after every meal and night. I also gargle and drink a sip a few times a day. Ive been religious with my diet for a few weeks without results. I'm a worse case scenario. I started to have swallowing issues where I'd cough while eating and felt like I couldn't swallow and losing weight. I have LPR and EOS which was caused from a bad allergy to clindamycin. I am also allergic to PPI meds so I can't take those. I had been taking pepcid, gaviscon and even pepto without relief. The dr even prescribed me carafate and told me its not recommended but may take the edge off. Nothing. I was anxious and depressed and losing a lot of sleep at night waking up choking to death. I slept an average of 30m-1 hr and on a good day maybe once or twice a week I'd get 4 hours sleep. Exhausting. I've spent so much time crying. I was ready for surgery. I aldo drink aloe vera juice in the morning as ive been doing for about a week. You have to he RELIGOUS with this if you want to heal. I've been doing this for 3 days and seeing a 90% + reduction in day time symptoms and a 50% reduction in night time reflux. But im still struggling at night getting to sleep and waking uo choking but im now thinking some of this may actually be a combo of sleep apnea which is very much linked to LPR but not everyone with LPR has apnea. I'm also going for a sleep study and losing weight. You have to be religious in doing this. Eat a mediterannian diet excluding the acid components of tomato/onion etc. Eat Skinless chicken, veggies, fish, oatmeal, nuts, eggs. Less fat, healthier fats like avocodo and small amount of olive oil. Also limit carbs like bread/ rice. Give up chocolate, peanut butter and junk food. No coffee. It can take 3 months of diet and otc/ natural products such as the alkaline water baking soda mixture which helped me more then ANYTHING I've tried. It works. You just have to give it time. It's been days and I'm seeing an improvement..
Hey! My dad just tried this right now. How long was it until you started feeling a difference? I know it will take a few days but did you see/feel any difference on day 1 during the day and night? Thanks!
I'm going to come back and update but day 1 and this is wonderful and helpful. I was originally drinking baking soda in plain bottle water, not alkaline and very little improvement if any. Thank you for saving lives. I found Alkaline water at Kroger but you can look online to see what you find also.
Nice video ❤ I finally got rid of my chronic bad breath smell from the stomach when I talk with someone face to face with alternative medicine and diet tips from Dr Emovon on RU-vid..❤
I have been using this Dr.Emovon on RU-vid cure remedy for 3 months now. So far, it has cured my acid reflux, improved energy and metabolism, in the morning I feel recharged and I no longer feel pain.🪴🪴

I can't imagine you will see this but I did this yesterday and seems to have made my throat worse. I have grade A Barrett's Esophagus. Is there any danger to doing this with BE?
let's get this doctor and my GI doctor in the same room. My GI doc at the VA completely discounted LPR as a possible root cause, when my symptoms check all the boxes for LPR. Additionally, seems like I may have urdecaria and I did find several journal articles supporting the comorbidity of urdecaria and acid/pepsin reflux. Dermatology sees nothing on the surface of skin but I did read that urdecaria can occur in the dermis layer. ENT wants to do FESS but I am concerned about undergoing that surgery if the cause of my chronic sinusitis is LPR. So I've been doing saline rinses for several months and not one time did I extract green mucus, like I did the very first time I did a saline/sodium bicarbonate rinse. Very first! So far, I've had a 1cm sliding hiatus hernia diagnosis, bravo Ph test positive for reflux and a barium swallow positive for reflux and the GI doctor still discounts LPR as possible root cause. Next test is a manometry w/Ph monitor. I'm eager to see how this saline/sodium bicarbonate rinse produces any results, I read that the sodium bicarbonate can shake loose the pepsin that takes up residency in the nasal passages. I've also had shortness of breath but pulmonary says pepsin is also made in the upper respiratory tract but I still need to read more about that. I want a pepsin test done from my nasal passages and my esophagus. Ah, totally forgot, dermatology has me on Dupixent and it has produced no results. I am discussing with my dermatologist about switching from Dupix to Xolair, if it's allergies that is causing my problems and Dupix hasn't produced results, then let's try Xolair and target IGE. I am still of a mind that the root cause of my problems is the hernia that has compromised my LES, which is now causing reflux. Two events, the Flu and that vicious cough and then 70lb rucking I did, after recovering from the Flu. One of, or both of those events caused this damn hernia. I had zero symptoms before the Flu and rucking.
I think that if you suffer from LPR like me spraying inside your nose will help your Eustachian tubes and will soothe your ears. Remember it is all connected.
@@dahnishaw9177 So far it has been 3 days and slight improvement. I have been very careful with what I eat and unfortunately still taking omeprazole as my vocal cords are a bit swollen and throat is very sore in the morning. The ears issues come and go during the day. Wishing you all the best.
I did a colonoscopy which they did find a polyp which was removed and then they found a hiatal hernia which was small and they said it's caused by having a lot of pressure in my stomach and also told me that if I control my acid reflux then it will not get any bigger and they gave me H2 blockers. They forced me to see a nurse practitioner instead of the doctor that performed a colonoscopy. They were really of no help to help relieve my symptoms. I did everything right and got help when something was wrong and I got no help other than the colonoscopy and endoconoscopy which they said my esophagus was irritated and that's how they also found the hiatal hernia. Unfortunately I have to visit them again in 5 years from now because they did find a polyp but I think I would go here before I go back to the gastroenterologist unless it is the last case scenario. I've been reading that this has been helping a lot of people and I'm going to give it a try!
I don't understand your logic here: You say you add bicarbonate to an already alkaline solution? Surely by adding bicarbonate to a neutral pH solution this will actually raise the pH anyway to make it alkaline...
Even when everyone thought there is no cure, I’m still surprised how your medicine cured me Dr.Emovon on RU-vid I just pray you stay safe out there everyday because the bad breath and acid reflux patients needs you more than ever. Thank you for coming to my aid, you’re a great doctor. #dremovon.✊🏿✊🏿
I was born into this world 8 weeks early and the consequences were my tummy was not formed properly. I was born without the valves that keep your food down, so gastric reflux was a huge part of my life and unfortunately it still is. I had a boix-ochoa fundoplication when i was 16 years old... the operation was only a success for about 3 or 4 years and then im back to square one. The repurcissions of my surgery are having a massive impact on my life right now. My food still comes up freely into my throat and its not nice to deal with but it is manageable if you stay away from certain acidic foods. The problem i have had the last 10 years and it seems to be getting worse is being bloated 24/7. I can not pass any sort of wind/farts being stood up. Sometimes i cannot pass any wind for 3-4 days. Can you imagine.... eating 3-4 days worth of food and not being able to pass any wind??? It becomes excruciatingly painful. In order for me to try and help my body to pass wind.. i have to lay down on a flat floor... push my hands into my belly and try to manouve the wind myself. Its painful and its horrible and i cannot get any sort of diagnosis. Ive been under hospital consultations for the last 10 years and have been discharged 3 or 4 times because nobody seems to know how to help me, and no machine will highlight AIR inside my tummy. Ive suffered chronic back pain and depression has kicked in the last few years. I cry quite a lot due to the fact i just want somebody to help me. Some nights i wish i could relieve my tummy myself by popping a knife into my own tummy just to hear all of the air come out of me just like it would a balloon. Sooner or enough it does feel like my tummy will just explode as there is no where for the air to go. I dont know if the procedures were the same as they were in 1996 but id sure wish there was some kind of new technology to help me. Wish i could afford to go private to a hospital but im broke and a failure. Luckily i have my wife and 2 children who mean the world to me... but i hate them... seeing me how i am now... what i have to do on a daily basis to pass wind.... and how this operation 28 years ago has ruined me 😔 😔 If anybody has any advice... im all ears.
@LA-uo2zk i wish that were possible.... with gastric reflux... any liquid that goes in.... soon as i start jumping.. my food would projectile. 😔 same as running. I cant run 2 mins without having mouthfulls of old food swishing round my mouth. Ive tried handstands.... the lot. Nothing seems to help 😔
@LA-uo2zk i wish things were that simple. Every 3 months, i go to the hospital for a new doctor to say he hasnt got a clue. If i had the money, i would opt to go to a private hospital to see a specialist gastro doctor, but the way this country is going.... soon you won't be able to even see the doctors. Thanks for your concern bro.... 👍 id do anything to feel normal again 😔
This has been really helpful! Thank you! One question - once I fill the bottle with bicarbonate solution, how many days is it good for before I need to throw it away and Make a new solution?
Bicarbonate water: 1 liter of Alkaline water ph 8+ 2 T Baking soda Nasal spray bottle (empty contents) For primary symptoms of nasal burning or nasal drainage: Spray into the nose while inhaling. For primary symptoms of mucus production, voice changes, hoarseness, fatigue, sore throat: Spray into the mouth while inhaling.
Been dealing with what I suspect is silent reflux for a few months now with no official diagnosis from the ent who’s has me on a third different med. it’s amazing looking at the comment section and seeing how much this seems to work for people. I guess I’m picking up some alkaline water and baking soda when I get off work
