Re: Difficulty/Restricted Breathing

I started eating some muffins made with ground chia seeds and around the same time I started to get globus. I think chia seeds are something you need to be wary of if you have acid reflux.

Re: Difficulty/Restricted Breathing

I am new to this forum. I have followed posts off and on for the last few years.
I was diagnosed with LPR around 3 years ago. I would experience throat tightness and swallowing problems and feeling as if I could not breath. I also would experience spasms which I now believe was caused by acid reflux hitting my vocal chords. The first year was the worst I thought after I finally had a diagnosis that things would improve and I could take medicine to get rid of this LPR but I was wrong, the medicine ppi's did not work and I spent a long time researching what I could do to get relief which I eventually found through carrot juice, alkaline juices and foods and making sure food gets digested well and emptied out before laying down, that doesn't always happen however and on those nights like tonight I find myself up when I want to be sleeping, because it takes my breath away. I do not have the globus sensation anymore or too many vocal chord spasms but if I go to bed with anything in my stomach I am up half the night till it digest because of breathing. Following an alkaline diet can make me forget I have it but then I start eating what I want and drinking my coffee and my symptoms come back . Anyway, wishing you all well on your endeavors to be rid of this awful condition.

Wink Re: Difficulty/Restricted Breathing

Hi Twiggle66

I,like you, have LPR which is now sometimes called Airway Reflux and suffered like you with Asthma.
It only takes a few drops of aspirated reflux to cause all the symptoms.
The real culprit is Pepsin. This is created in the stomach and causes damage to the airways when it comes up. It binds itself to the throat and airway tissues and is reactivated every time you swallow anything acidic.
To neutralise it the environment needs to be alkalised to over 8.8PH with alkaline water.
Dr Jamie Koufman has written a paper on this. (you can google to find it)
I have been using this water treatment for a few months and now have no asthma symptoms.

PS. PPI meds do not work on Pepsin so rarely do anything for LPR

Best Regards JPT2013

Re: Difficulty/Restricted Breathing

Yes! Breathing issues are definitely part of GERD! I have a relatively minor case, but I experience shortness of breath on and off for about a week last Dec. I felt like no matter how deeply I inhaled, I couldn't get quite enough air.

It was terrifying! I'm glad that it went away. As much as I hate the heartburn, I'll take it any day over shortness of breath. You have my symphathies.
