Acid Reflux? -Sore Throat
Hi,it all started several months ago with waking up in the middle of the night with sore throat. I have tried all of the things I could find on the internet/books on acid reflux. I went to the doctor a couple of times. Now, I don't get the sour taste in my mouth any more, but I wake up with sore throat in the middle of the night.
I don't eat the foods that would supposedly cause acid (eg chocolate, tomatoes, fried foods, etc)
I have been demi-vegetairan for several years now(don't eat meat except for sea food) I stopped eating animal fat since my blood test showed elevated cholesterol. I don't smoke, drink alchohol and I rarely eat sugar since this condition started. I sleep normal hours.
I am 28, skinny, and moderately active, eat mostly health food.
I have tried acupuncture (5 sessions, but they didn't heal me) During that time I was taking shu-gan-wan pills and zhiclorri 75.
I started getting this condition a month and a half after a highly stressful period (job search and interviews and a new job)
I thought it might be stress related, since I am a person that gets very stressed out and jumpy on small issues.
So, I tried to do meditation at least several times a week. That helped me with my jumpyness, but not with my physical problem. I am trying to do stomach excersizes to make my stomach muscles stronger.
I am sleeping on elevated bed, 7 inches lifted at the head.
At times I get very worried that this is not going away, but I try to keep the positive side and get back in the fighting mode. Please let me know if you have any suggestions...
Here are the things that I have tried from medications/supplements.
- Prevacid - didn't help
- Zantac - didn't help
- Nexium - didn't help much
- Prilosec - didn't help
- Thums - give a relieve temporarily
- Pepcid Complete - gives a relieve temporarily
- Gaviscon - didn't help
- Apple Cider Vinegar + honey - not much difference
- Ginger tea - I used to think it was helping me some, but not any more
- Orange peel extract - didn't help
- Cinnamon - didn't help
- Aloe vera
- Slippery Elm and honey - helps me with the sore throat
- Sea weed - helps me with the sore throat
- Valerian Root - helps me with the sleep
- Lemon Balm - no noticable difference
- Inhale chamomille steam at night - helps me with the sore throat
and other stuff I can't even remember
Please help me if you can...

Im taking aciphec right now , havent had heartburn since.
The sore throat can be caused by the acids shooting up into your throat, from your stomach.
Also I heard if you sleep with your mouth open. Your throat will get raw, that way be the case.
Do you ever have heartburn?

helloCanada,
I had a similar problem with sudden onset acid reflux that happened during the night.
I tried the Nat Phos 6x and it solved the problem.
It's worth a try.
Good Luck.
