I wrote about a year ago about how this video has changed my life. I had all the symptoms listed in all other posts and saw doctor after doctor and they couldn’t help. I had reached the point where breathing was difficult and had no zest to do much of anything. I used the spray for about 3 months straight while watching what I ate and I have been symptom free since. I haven’t even used the spray for the past 2 months. This has been a life saver for me...I changed my eating habits and have the occasional treat and drink here and there and still have no problems. If you suffer from LPR, know that you’re not alone and give this a shot.
@@tspunk4003 Your local Whole foods should carry them..I did my research and bought the higher end stuff....Evamor tastes good and seems to do the job nicely. Good Luck!
@@bcheung5676 I have a question did you have to burp a lot or difficulties swallowing or clear your throat of mucus? If so did this help that? My main concern right now is I have hard time breathing like as if I'm not getting enough air as I should
I have had LPD for 30 years with zero help from the medical community. This simple explanation works. I gargle twice a day with a solution of baking soda and alkiline water and my LPD is gone. This really works!
Is it normal to also having bloating and burping? I'm 19 and I still don't have a money to check up on a doctor. I'm suffering this disease for 9 months now.
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'm literally in tears! I'm the care taker of my mom who had been suffering from LPR and was never diagnosed we've been to the gastroenterologist numerous times never once did they say she had LPR. THIS SOLUTION WORKS! I'm so grateful to GOD that HE lead me to research and this video! Thank you soo much Dr. Mark Noar We love and appreciate you!
OMG I’m so glad to see this !! They’re exactly my symptoms and the doc has me on proton pump inhibitor but that reduces stomach acid, which I don’t want. Hearing you say it’s a gas makes SO MUCH SENSE, cuz I don’t get esophageal burning etc that I would if it were an acid. THANK YOU!!!
Oh My GOD! I never usually leave comments. I have had lpr with no hurtburn since 2013, non stop every hour of the day mucus that would build up on my air ways causing me to clear my throat and cough. TMI but I could spit up half a cup of mucus a day. Constant feeling of something in my throat and when I get up in the morning a slight acidic burn. I’ve tried prescription and over the counter nothing worked. I seen this video 4 days ago and thought this is not going to work. Last night I bought all the items mentioned and used it before bed. THIS WORKS!!! For the first time in 9 years no mucus no coughing no burn. I feel like a normal functioning human. If you have lpr please do this. May it change your life as it has mine. Thanks doc I could kiss you
I have been dealing with silent reflux for about 3 years. Took different kind of ppi meds, none of those really help. I’m a car salesman, and have to talk all of the time, my voice slowly getting worse everyday, having difficulty speak at work, started to messing up my work. I went to speech therapy, didn’t help. Until I found this video, I finally can talk again with little to no restrictions, the lump in my throat is gone now, I have been using the spray bottle for 2 days now, I think if I keep doing it, it may eventually heal me. Thank you for your video, you saved my life.
Hi Chi Lam I am a stock broker, I am talking all day long, more than 9 hours par day. Can you give me an update about your situation? I've got LPR as well and it is a tragedy of a disease for a salesman
This worked for me!! I had what felt like a lump under my Adam’s apple for 3 weeks. It progressively got worse to where it was affecting my ability to talk. I was referred to an ENT after my thyroid test came back normal. The ENT did a scope and didn’t see anything abnormal in my throat other than excess saliva in the area I had pain. She diagnosed me with LPR and put me on meds. I don’t think the meds helped but this RU-vid video had me back to normal in 5 days. I ended gargling the mixture instead.
I’ve had this going on 2 years now..had a ct scan, a ultrasound , camera down my nose(both nostrils) this feeling of a lump in my throat and a constant having to clear my throat just to know that it’s nothing in it.. doctors told me I was going through anxiety and prescribed me Omeprazole and it did not work after months of taking it and I had to get down to the bottom of it I had my breaking point.. so I found out I had LPR on my own and started trying this solution and it really works after 2 days of using it I feel relief and I can’t do my normal activities without worrying about it such often.. to anybody having this problem please try this solution you will really see a change.. god bless you you are not alone ❤️
Hi, @chexk fines. Can you tell me somw of Your mazor symptoms please?? I am facing same problem since 2014.. No cure yet.. Please help me by explaon some of Your symptoms.
I have the exact same symptoms and dx myself. Cheek Im sure this has to be done for the rest of our lives. Check out Dr Jonathan Aviv Acid Watchers Diet.
Wow, these are my symptoms along w hearing myself swallow and ear pain, on top of that I’ve had weight lost. Started last month went to ER and they didn’t see anything, prescribed me antibiotics and pain meds, didn’t help.. haven’t had a solid meal since last month.. finally went to ENT I worked myself up to believing it was cancer because of google and all of my symptoms. ENT did a scope and didn’t see anything BUT I still felt something so in my head I didn’t accept that 100% but I had to calm myself down because I’ve already lost 1lbs.. he told me it was LPR and gave me medicine, told me to give it 10 days to feel it working but I don’t feel anything. I’m going to the store on my lunch break to get the water and baking soda because I’ve had enough.. I just keep crying, it’s frustrating!
Everything the doctor mentioned on his video , I had this issue really bad, in the last 3 days . I was in pain with sinuses, ears, throat , and now I lost my voice . I thought I had a COLD , it's similar in ways. Thank you all for your help , I appreciate anyone who's devoted helping others, especially when their G.I. NEVER explained anything to me , when I first had all these issues. I know when I'm on here and I know the answer the person is asking, I will pass it on forward to help others. After all that's what I thought we all, were on here to help people .
I have terrible shortness of breath due to silent reflux and this has been a life saver. When it gets bad I also gargle the baking soda and alkaline water.
Basically my symptoms is voice changes, cracky voice and chacky voice and feeling of lump at the back of my throat as well as throat clearing...If I can solve this voice changes and difficulty speaking sometimes or at intervals...it will be better!!! Please can this procedure help me efficaciously??
This works! I used 9.5 alkaline water and after adding the 2 table spoons of baking soda to 16 Oz alkaline water I shook it up. I placed mine into a plastic mist bottle from Walmart travel section. Where they sell the tiny shampoo n stuff for traveling. Then placed in refrigerator. I use it morning, after meals and before bed. I just give it a shake and breath in as I mist my throat. I have my 86 year old dad doing it also. We also are Taking a shot of pure aloe Vera juice cut with water daily. Cutting bad food out and replacing with organic pure foods. Dads in great shape but was coughing g lying in bed ....me.... mine started few months ago and ent stated vocal chords were inflamed. Of course same old thing is go on proton inhibiter. I'd rather just get healthier and address it naturally. I just found this video and read threads and I'm so happy I did. Thank you!
@@src5769 was a total success... I use just spring water now and I keep near my bed at night. Any time I feel that feeling in my throat I spray. You can mist up your nose also once in while. Would not over do that, can be drying. I was just grateful to find this video and I share this method with others always. I do buy new spray bottles for it occassionally. Hope it serves you well as it did us.
Wow. Im 26 and immgoing through this and i gargled with this solution and it worked so quickly. Im so thankful to be growing up in the generation of the internet. I see so many comments of people saying how the have been battling this for 15-30 years. So sad that our doctors and medical research failed us. They would have put me on nexium or some other harmful drugs. I pray everyone finds relief from this. ❤️🙏🏻
It's not that doctors have failed us but priorities lay elsewhere and this is a very difficult problem to diagnose and treat. I had it a couple of years ago, beat it but its back because of a cold. I'm sure the larynx is hypersensitive in our cases so fixing it is a long process.
@@javinash479 Speaking from personal experience I applied these methods: 1. eat no later than 7pm even snacking. 2. eat smaller meals. 3. Avoid anxiety and stress which were major contributors for me along with late night food avoidance. 4. If your voice gets strained then avoid talking loudly, shouting etc...learn to talk calmer and quieter. Have you tried these?
I discovered that there is too much chorine in the tap water of my city. It was making my reflux and digestive issues much worse. I had to buy a shower filter with charcoal. I also bought similar filter for the tap water in the kitchen. As I am not young, my digestion situation is improving, but only very slowly. I am also trying the idea in this video (when i remember). Many thanks.
Ohhhh my godddd has this helped with my weird lump/mucus feeling in the back of my throat. I’ve had this feeling for 5 months now and it’s been making me gag/choke/panic. I was having constant anxiety attacks and it was 10000% worse after eating. I used a saline spray with sodium bicarbonate in it (arm n hammer) and it helped immediately!!! Thank you!!!
@@lilpinay3308 still pretty good! I don’t have the lingering mucus feeling that I had for so long. I will say a nasal spray with sodium bicarbonate is a better bet than trying to make your own.
This is great. Going to try this and tell my mom. We've both been finding relief from baking soda in water so I believe this will help even more. Thank you.
I was at my breaking point after a year of multiple traumas pushed my gerd and lpr into a severe state. I couldnt eat anything but pudding, smoothies, and bananas. I started gaviscon advance and using this method. After 24 hours I am about 65 percent better. Doctors showed no interest in helping me, they threw me on pantoprazole, told me to lose weight, diet, and called it a day. Thank you, Dr. Noar! Onward and upward from here!
Wow!! I am experiencing the same thing, I can only have soft foods as solids are difficult to get down. Glad you are feeling better, this gives me hope!
The truth is, losing weight does help too. If sucks because I’m 5’1” and when I weighed 100-110 lbs I didn’t have the symptoms unless I overate. Now I’m 125lbs and I have it all the time.
@@kaylankrolikowski Hi, I have the same thing (very severe). Had it 12 years ago doctors no help, sent me to a pyscologist (didn't go, knew i was not making it up). You may benefit from reading Dr. Aviv's book The Acid Watchers Diet. i wish i had read it sooner to know what my 6 month cough was actually telling me. Now i am only able to eat banana and oatmeal. Last time this happened, after 16 months of suffering and sleeping sitting straight up on the couch, i went gluten free and it fixed itself over time (i was down to eating bagels and celery). Have been gluten free 12 years now but it has happened again. So lonely. all your comments have helped. -mary
I've had a chronic cough for many years (decades). This simple solution has stopped my coughing! I started using this spray solution in my mouth about 2 weeks ago. I only made half the amount, which I ended up throwing away once I filled a small spray bottle. Since I was doing this I also starting to drink alkaline water using pH booster drops from AlkaLife. I'm so thankful I stumbled upon this video!
Just be careful this method will only stop the symptoms of LPR but it won't cure it, in the long run you have to find out why you have LPR in the first place.
Voice trouble has been my only LPR symptom. I get hoarse and feel like I can’t speak clearly, like I’m speaking through cotton. After doing this for 2 weeks my voice is clearing up! I’m astounded and so relieved.
I just got my first bottle going. Instant relief and would recommend to all suffering from LPR. ENT doctor diagnosed me with it and have me those acid blocker pills. The problem isn't acid, its pepsim. I've had symptoms for 6 months and the only only thing that gives relief is cepacol. I believe this solution along with a diet change should hopefully fully relieve my problem.
Not knowing for a rough 12 years I had LPR, the very first time doing this I was reborn!!!! Relief!!!!! I had LPR pretty bad, several symptoms. . Thank God! I have this spray now.
Gonna try this. Two years of hoarseness, cough and breathing issues. I have hiatal hernia and was diagnosed with GERD. But my acidic GERD is fairly mild. I suspect prior to symptoms, I had silent reflux for a long time, which also might explain halitosis. After PPIs and inhalers didn't work, my doctor gave up and said there is no explanation, then even started trying to say it was somatic. Not once did my doctor at this prestigious medical conglomerate even mention Airway reflux or pepsin. I found out about Airway Reflux from out of network Rheumatologist which led me to do my own research. What is up with the knowledge in the medical community? Anyways, I will try this and really appreciate doctors sharing knowledge like this. We need more medical professionals like this sharing knowledge and furthermore in their own medical communities.
Hey Robert, I have had similar problems as you. Have you found any relief? I made a video about my own problems on my channel if you are interested, but long story short, my throat has been in pain for 3 years, and no doctor has helped me, and nothing has worked. This advice in this video made my throat worse.
They are trained only to match up symptoms to top selling drugs like PPIs, which cause dependence and side effects like osteoporosis and chronic kidney disease without ever treating the underlying causes. When this doesn't work, they blame you and scratch their heads. On to the next customer... excuse me... patient.
You are a life saver. I have been trying to find the root cause of my nasal congestion and sleep apnea from last 5 years while suffering from the condition for more than 10 years. Thank you so much for not only help me and a lot of others sleep but to help me understand that what should I work on in order to fix the issue. 🙏🏻 Who knew after going to 20+ doctors in last 5 years, only a simple trick will help me solve my problem. Thank you very much for sharing.
Beard Uncut: Did you also have a hard time taking a good deep breath? Where your overall breathing is ok but if you consciously try and take a deep breath, it feels like it won't complete. Thank you.
@@qso3566 yes! In my case continuous sinus related issues which were caused by LPR turned into a constant post nasal drip which formed chronic bronchitis. But before all that I also looked into the possibility of hiatal hernia and ruled it out with a contrast xray because that also can make your breathing shallow and could be a root cause for LPR and GERD. I am not using a nebulizer to get rid of my bronchitis while using the bicarbonate solution to keep the lpr symptoms and sinus at bay.
@@qso3566 the worst part is, there's no way to measure the short breath. The spirometry test which is usually considered will give a normal result. And you won't be able to find out what's causing your dull and low quality life. But in my experience, If I pay great attention to my breathing and if it is not getting obstructive and the days I am able to breathe properly with deep and effortless breaths, I will be able to sleep much better and wake up fresh with lots of energy. Pls also look into betaine hcl because sometimes a person can have hypochlorhydria or achlorhydria and that's the reason they don't have heart burn while having a reflux. Also these two conditions can mess up your LES and you start having the problem in the first place. Betaine Hcl has at least gave me a hope and I am able to eat normally now.
@@VikramYadavIndia I have been learning how important breathing is to quality of life. our modern lifestyles make us constantly stressed and unable to concentrate on things like breathing and eating. I do have a hernia, but I still feel convinced I can beat this. Hope you're feeling better as well!
I think I'll try this. I've seen videos where the comments were filled with people who had no improvement at all for years... This is the only video I've found where it's working for people. Thanks for sharing your story.
Reading your comment gives me so much faith. I'm suffering from LPR and nothing seems to work for me. I suffer constantly from vocal fatigue and larynx swelling.
@@magetaaaaaa I hope this worked for you, it did for me, but I also later learned that the major cause of my problem was food allergies. I was tested by a Naturopath and found I was allergic to a lot of foods I had been eating. She took me off those foods for 1 month, and once I stopped eating those foods, the throat pain, headache, neck pain, stomach pain, all went away and I felt better immediately, and have been fine since. When I eat one or more of those foods, I get congested or a stomach ache, but not as bad as it used to be.

Thank you so much for this information. Would doing gargles with alkaline water and sodium bicarbonate do the same as spraying ? (of course talking about the throat symptoms)
I hope this works. I can’t sleep. I was placed in an induced coma years ago and I remember being asked constantly how my throat was feeling. That is my memory of when I started having throat issues 16 years ago. Tonight, I have been up coughing out clear sticky phlegm. I also clear my throat all day long and I have visited many docs, had the barium test done at the emergency room and visited with a specialist who told me to take Pepcid. It has been so many years of this. You are essentially my last hope.
I was skeptical at first but I think the solution does provide some relief to my voice issues. Except I need a bigger frequency and quantity of spraying than what he seems to suggest in order to get some relief. I hope I wont have long term side effects.
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.
This sounds like exactly my problem. Constant drainage and gunk in my throat, as well as some fluid in my ear from time to time. Will give this a try, as no doctors have been able to help
I have been working on pursuing the career of my dreams in voiceover after years of reluctance and wouldn’t you know suddenly I’ve developed chronic recurrent throat issues that I’ve come to understand are GERD related. I was put on a wait list for an ETN and have been stuck there for almost a year. Meanwhile my doctor prescribed me an acid blocker and gave me an absurdly long list of foods to avoid. At first the acid blocker was helping and I was not having to be so restrictive on my diet. But now the acid blocker seems to be doing nothing as my symptoms will appear in my throat after almost any meal. I get zero heartburn so it took me a while just to connect this to reflux. I just stumbled onto this video and noticed all the positive comments. The explanation seems quite sound and I am very hopeful that this technique might help save my vocal cords in time for me to record my first demo reel at the end of the month. Fingers crossed. I’ve been really stressed out that now that I finally take this huge leap of faith such a terrible obstacle has appeared before me. Especially considering I never had this before, or atleast I never noticed it.
I have over 3 decades of experience. There is an underlying cause that you have not been properly tested for yet. It is "not" cancer or COVID. If you or anyone else would like proper guidance for free, please send me an email. My email address and a brief summary of what I do are in the "About" section of my RU-vid profile. Click on the "E" in the circle next to my comment, click on the big "E" again, and then click the "About" tab.
Can' wait to try this. About 20 years ago, I was diagnosed with LPR via 24 hour Ph Monitoring and an endoscopy. Also my voice was shot and I couldnt speak anymore and lost much of my vocal range. Throat docs looked at me and told me my vocal cords were fine. Went to voice therapists who had a high speed video camera and they saw a pair of severely damaged vocal cords -- they said if I wasnt put on a PPI and got voice therapy soon I would lose my voice or worse. I went on Nexium but the Army is not one to support Nexium for long so I was on and off and off and on but the Nexium did help. But the symptoms always came back after going off Nexium. At the same time I was diagnosed with this I was also found to have emphysema despite clear CT scans and one of the fastest 2 miles run times in my division of 17,000 soldiers. Years later I was tested again and fond to have moderate emphysema by lung function test but still ha a VO2 Max of 50 which is excellent and a 2 mile run time of about 14 minutes (not bad for a 50 year old). Anyway, the docs took me off Nexium just because and my throat went down hill and I couldnt get more than a few worst out before running out of breath (proving emphysema to be right) but also running and biking and lifting like a NCAA athlete. I am going to try this. My main symptoms of LPR/Emphysema is I cant speak comfortably anymore. I dont know if severe LPR can cause lung function issues or not but it is worth a try. By the way I tested my VO2 max at the gym today using Bruce protocol and I went for 16 minutes on the treadmill at 16% incline and 5.2 MPH. My knees couldnt take any more so I ramped down to 10% and 4.2 MPH for the next 30 minutes.
If your worried about pathogens. Use Bottled water its sterile. It doesn't matter if its distilled or purified. Just don't forget to keep your solution fresh and the container clean. I personally would make a new solution daily, because even with the addion of baking soda the water activity will still be high for bacteria growth, which grows exponentially over a short period. For purified bottled water there are several filtration steps most importantly reverse osmosis, and before the water is bottled its treated with ozone. High alkaline water processing is mostly the same, although there is additional steps to increase the pH. Typically through electrolysis. Also keep in mind that the pH range for distilled and purified water is 5 to 7 pH. This is a regulatory requirement. Thus its actually slightly acidic. Which is why the doctor recommends alkaline water.
las vegas player No I haven’t had any problems breathing. I was staying at a hotel while I was looking for a home to buy. At first it wasn’t a problem. However after staying there for many months with a cat and dog in that small studio room I think that I became stressed and of course I was breathing all of the cat and dog hair. The coronavirus also raised my stress level .I just need to eat healthy. I certainly don’t need to eat before going to bed..I am a home now so I am breathing fresh air .thank goodness
Should we be gargling with this or just let it go down the throat. I don’t have that mist bottle but I have a bottle with a bigger hole. Don’t want to get too much of it if I’m not supposed to. Thank u
I was suffering from LPR from past 2 years.Yesterday it was very serious for me.No drug helped me...I saw this and tried...It's a magic!!!..My chronic cough stopped immediately....Thank you so much for the video 😊😊😊.I will never forget this help.Thanks for sharing your advice 👍👍
@@weareyou4618 Look the problem is coming from the stomach the acid is causing all the damage I didn’t see the point of just cleaning my nose what can you do about the non-stop acid production?!
I wanted to update my previous post of approximately a year ago. Alhtough I believed this video to provide me with relief, I have since determined that my problem with shortness of breath is caused by adult onset asthma. I wanted to take the time to correct my post. I am now taking an inhaler (Arnuity) daily and daily doses of Montelukast (Singulair) and have been for the last 9 months or so. All of my symptoms below were gone within days. Long story short, after continued visits to various ENTs, I was told there was no way acid reflux (silent or otherwise) could affect the lungs without some indication on the vocal chords, because whatever goes into the lungs must pass this part of the throat. I ended up back at my pulmonologist who by this time suspected asthma and prescribed teh above. I've been breathing normally ever since, and only have an occasional flare up of acid reflux. I'm now convinced that these two conditions were separate and apart from one another. I was desperately trying to self diagnose. I hope you are all well and find help with your personal conditions.
@@frstnmlstnm8484 I don't think I had LPR at all (endoscopy showed no damage to my esophagus) and never had asthma ever, but I do get acid reflux occasionally if I do something stupid like drink and eat chocolate cake or other sweets in excess before I go to bed at night (shouldn't do this anyway. I'm 56). When I did discuss the method with my doctors, they gave no response or other opinion other than to look at me like I had found something crackpot on RU-vid. I don't believe there is any widespread support at all of this procedure in the medical field. I can say that I honestly believed it temporarily helped my symptoms while doing it, but don't know why and can't confirm its effectiveness with any MD anywhere.
Did you get tested for asthma? I was told I had asthma for years but it was actually LPR. I believe many people who've been told they have adult onset cough variant asthma actually have LPR. Asthma meds did not help me much.
I'm currently trying this. I've been dealing with what I'm almost certain is LPR for the last 4+ months. (My journey through doctors has yet to diagnose this, though my PCP suspects it. I'm quite certain.) This started when I got intractable hiccups for six days back in April, which was misery and landed me in the hospital. I've been trying to recover ever since. My symptoms include sore and/or scratchy throat, bad taste in my mouth, coughing, occasional choking on saliva or liquid, hoarseness, etc. No post-nasal drip. I initially bought a small generic bottle of saline, emptied it, and tried to use that, but it shot the water out in more of a stream than a mist. Since I have nothing in my nose, I'm just using a small pressurized plant misting bottle. This does a great job, and I've ordered some small empty misters so I can have something for when I'm on the go. I'm three days in and I've actually had three good days, but I'll reserve judgement until more time passes.
Should also mention that I don't inhale it. My symptoms are up at the top of my throat and in the back of my mouth. So I just blast a big spray into my mouth and then swallow it.
Hi! Just another LPR sufferer here commenting so I can be notified if you ever post updates, extra information, etc. I've kinda been suffering on my own the past year and a half, and I was so scared by some of the first things I read when the initial symptoms started, so I haven't don't much research or outreach to others in the same boat since then, but I think it's time I tried to be a little more proactive about this. Anyway, I sincerely hope it works for you. I tried drinking baking soda water one time (yuck) and it didn't do much for me, but I didn't use high pH water (just store bought spring water), and I didn't add as much baking soda as is suggested in this video. Going to try following the instructions in the video to a T now. Hoping the bicarbonate spray + sodium alginate after meals can make a difference, because Omeprazole and the US formulation of Gaviscon sure haven't.
Thank you very much, after 1 year of suffering with this disease I finally found a way to inhibit the symptoms a little, I used it for 3 days together with an anti-inflammatory spray and I already feel much better
How is going now? I might have LPR. I’ve seen a ENT but he just recommended taking PPIs but didn’t tell me if it was GERD LPR. Been around 2 months and might give this a try.
Wow!! My husband has been suffering for 6 months we all thought it was allergies. The doctors couldn't help even after doing the ballon procedure for sinues. I'm so thankful I found this video for him it has helped my husband tremendously!! Its been 3 days and WOW!!!! Thank you so much!!! 9/23 Update: its been a couple of weeks and husband is doing fine with the spray still not 100% but not bad as it was. We are now narrowing down foods he eats that seem to cause the influx of mucus. Good luck to everyone!
@@BobTheLegend his was throat related but just to be safe he used the spray for his nose and throat and started drinking alkaline water twice a day. So far things are good. We are hoping it continues to work.
@@alluringintrovert2036 Please keep us posted, I have just started with this spray today. My doctor makes me use pantoprazole, it also helps but I wanted to have some control over the upper respiratory system as well.
What a blessing to come across this video last night!!! I have been fighting LPR symptoms for nearly 5 years now, watching diet, staying away from acidic foods and sleeping on an incline...still having problems and was reluctantly considering LINX surgery over Nissen Fundoplication this coming year. But after trying this simple and very easy procedure last night before going to bed, I awoke this morning already noticing a significant difference!!! Thank you Dr. Noar for giving me a new lease on life! Still will maintain watching diet, acids and sleeping elevated...but can now live without nagging upper sinus respiratory problems as well as lower esophageal/larynx/throat problems, too! You are a "godsend" to all of us by sharing your expertise on Silent Reflux LPR, and I can't being to thank you enough!!! God bless. 🙂 Al W.
hey, mattpen7966...I am doing so much better than 3 months ago! Hardly any mucous in throat, able to sleep at night without swallowing difficulties and still being able to carefully eat those once 'difficult foods' now without backlash...besides using alkaline/baking soda, I've started taking 1 tbsp. Mylanta an hour after eating and eating a much smaller evening meal around 4pm to be sure stomach is pretty much cleared by bedtime...everything is working together for good and I feel so much better today!!! Hope this gives you much encouragement as it has for me/// 🙂@@mattpen7966
@@mattpen7966 Hi matt, I sent you a note earlier today and let you know that I am doing so much better today than 2 months ago! The sodium bicarbonate solution worked wonders!!! I am still using it as needed after eating those things that could possibly cause LPR to flare up again....but...have had none of the major problems I used to have since using Dr. Noar's awesome spray solution. It definitely works and is a life-saver!!! And just to be safe...I also, after eating anything spicy, cheezy or drinking a coke, take 1 tbsp. of Mylanta an hour afterwards so as to neutralize any final stomach acid that may be left behind in the stomach...so, just wanted you to know how much better my life is today and no mucous problems or throat problems since. I can sleep peacefully at night and certainly have stopped the throat clearing that used to be a daily nightmare. Hope you are well on your way, too, in healing!!! Blessings to you! 🙂
Did you do the LINX surgery? I had it done 2 years ago and my GERD is much better and silent reflux went away for almost 2 years but now is back so LINX does not necessarily "fix" silent reflux.
Dr., what do you think of the medicine protonix in general for a sore throat due to acid reflux and LPR? I understand you can't give a specific comment, but generally does the medicine work in your opinion?
Hello RefluxDoc, there is a lot of advise on the net about the LPR and other reflux, but this one is so rare and yet it hits the nail on the head, well clarified, Thank You Very Much, one question, with the inhaling the solution, is there no concern about getting it into the lungs Regards
I was struggling for years with a clogged ear and left nostril. This method cleared them in about 3 days. I’ve been gargling the mixture every morning and before bed and have been using the spray about 3 times a day.
I have been to different doctors and they diagnosed me with gerd , but I honestly think I have lpr I been feeling this sensation for 1 1/2 years. I’m going to try this. Wish me luck.
Just stumbled on this video and tried it for the first time this evening after 3,5 years of suffering and not finding the cause of my problems. For the first time in weeks I feel comfortable again and I am not coughing. I will now use this treatment on a regular basis as well as follow all the other advice on LPR to see if I can finally beat this thing. If it works I will want to give Dr Noar a huge hug!!
This is wonderful to see. I actually suffer from this disorder day-to-day. I'm going to see my Gastroenterologist next month and I'm going to bring up stretta or the LES titanium band in hopes that he'll agree after evaluating me. I'm having hearing loss and pain, lots of sinus pressure and mucus production. On top of that my vocal cords are swollen and irritated which is causing a whole host of symptoms on it's own including shortness of breath which is the worst. I've done quite a bit of research into this and if there is anything I can help with let me know!!
@@konnichiwow3139 still doing good - i switched to drinking alkaline water and also cut out coffee. havent needed this baking soda trick as much, lately but when my cough was/is really bad, i used it and it worked great.
@@konnichiwow3139 hi, this was my main symptom, shortness of breath. It took many doctors and tests and none told me it was was LPR. I found my diagnostic from researching online. How do you feel now?
Immediately but eventually it will go back again. 😔 Unfortunately, This is just like a “first-aid”, it won’t really treat the main issue of GERD or LPR.
Dr. Noar, thank you for this information. I have been fighting these symptoms for several years with very little help from my doctors. PPI's do very little to help my symptoms! The one thing that does seem to give me a bit relief is using the Navage nasal cleaner system. My question for you is, do you think that it would be worth a try to add baking soda to the Navage system to help reduce the pepsin in the nasal passage and possibly the throat as well? Thank you.
Do it, it wont kill you or make it worse. I drink water with baking soda. Also google and use APPLE CIDAR VINEGAR for the reflux. 1 tble spoon in a glass of water in the morning, you can mix honey or other stuff in it if you cant drink it
