I have GERD. I am on Nexium 2x a day since late October. I have gotten some relief. I was wondering if the hoarseness I get can be controlled with anything? It seems to get bad late in the day with the throat clearing and the coughing at night. I have really paid attention to my diet and stress levels but it just bothers me to get so hoarse everyday. Any suggestions?
Happy Holidays everyone.

Okay well if ever anyone experiences this try gargling with baking soda. It is very helpful. I can't believe that with all the people in here, no one has had a sore throat with this disease promoting laringitis and hoarseness. I guess I am the lucky winner. :)

Hi Meredith, I am ussually to be found in the anxiety posts, but also suffer acid problems, yes my throat burns and I get hoarse, not helped by smoking! I have given up all tablets from doctor as they werent doing anything! If you go to alternative therapies board, I have taken that approach,, lemon juice in the morning, honey & Vinegar,etc and I am feeling as tho its all working, I survived Xmas with no Heartburn, no sore throat , no blisters on tongue etc.Actually now that I think about it, I havent had anything to severe since changing to the naturals. Im Not sure if I can reccomend different health boards,here ? But its definetly worth a read.Hoping this helps.

Thank you I am willing to try new suggestions all the time. I appreciate it.

I have found that Magnesium oxide and protonix twice a day seem to have taken the burn down to a simmer so far, the hoarseness is almost gone to. I have tried some Alternatives to over the last 6 months but they didnt help me much so now am doing both together and it just may be working.
