Alkaline Water and GERD (Gastroesophogeal Reflux)

Post by DJ »

The news recently reported the findings of a study of people with GERD. Participants drinking alkaline water throughout the day experienced as much relief from GERD as participants who took PPIs. Alkaline water was defined as 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda per 8 ounces of water. I started using alkaline water throughout the day and it helps my whopping GERD and GERD-related cough.
