Just wanted to let you, and your followers, know that a recent endoscopy has confirmed that a previous diagnosis of Barrett's now shows significant improvement and I don't have to return for another follow-up endoscopy for 2 years. For 9 months I followed your advice to the letter: alkaline water only ( I had been drinking carbonated water almost exclusively), adjustable bed, not eating after 6PM, no trigger foods, alginate products before bed, Pepcid: 1 tablet at breakfast, 1 at lunch and 2 at bedtime.

The GI doctor just prescribed PPI's. The information you share is incredibly valuable and I sincerely thank you!

Dr. Koufman, I appreciate your videos sooo much!! I had been struggling with having shortness of breath and so much burping for years and doctors just told me it was indigestion or anxiety. Finally, after seeing an ent and describing my symptoms, he said he thought I might have silent reflux. At the time, he suspected it because he noticed I was constantly clearing my throat. I pretty much rely on your videos to help me overcome the waves of respiratory reflux that I seem to get (especially in the summer when my schedule is different). My next step is to purchase the alkaline water pitcher and the sleep wedge. Thank you, Dr. Koufman!

Thankyou Dr Koufman you have helped me a lot .

Thank you for getting me through LPR and for the brilliant term ‘respiratory reflux’. You are a passionate Scorpio, who can relate to those with problems, as you’ve been through it yourself! Can you please talk in detail about the various tests a gastroenterologist may want to run (i.e. Bravo Ph testing, etc) and why they prove to be unsuccessful in diagnosing/treating! Please get well soon. Sorry about your hip🙏

Thank you so much you are a Godsend!
I am 71 yrs old at this time.  When I was 29 yrs old, I was told by a doctor that a current pregnancy had changed my immune system and that is why I have allergies.
So for 41 years I thought I had allergies and used allergy medicine.  No other physician told me differently until I went to an ENT Dr.
a few months ago and he told me - you don’t have allergies (after looking at my nasal mucosa), you have Acid Reflux- and put me on Famotidine and a PPI.  Stopped taking PPI and now taking Famotidine according to your recommendations. Again you are a Godsend ❤️
Ps - can’t wait for you to release
Nzyme  (Hope I spelled correctly)!
BTW-I never smoked and don’t drink
alcohol- have learned that pregnancy can weaken the LES. I suspect that could be a possibility.

God Bless

Thank YOU, Dr so much for all you are doing to help us.  Unfortunately the doctors in the UK are just following standard protocols and can’t even get the doses and timing correct.

Great anti lpr treatment route is garglng with baking soda water! It washes pepsin! 1/2 teaspoon cup of water!

LPR is also known as silent reflux, which is what I have got.  My symptoms were not too bad until the pepsin got in my throat two weeks ago.  Been doing loads of research on pepsin since.

Pepsin doesn't always reach the throat.  I have had silent reflux for a few years with a dry and wet cough, throat clearing.  But getting pepsin in my throat two weeks ago is the worst.  I can eat and swallow without pain, but I have got a sore throat which is slightly hoarse.  I have also got low stomach acid, so am taking HCL.  Following a high alkaline diet and taking alkaline water with baking soda.  Trying to get rid of the pepsin, which Dr. Koufman said takes weeks, but I'm willing to try it.

I had never had a UTI, until I had been drinking only alkaline water about 2 months, and I had two within a month. They tested my urine and it was actually alkaline level and it's supposed to be more acidic. I only use the spray bottle now, and a few drinks per day and no more UTIs in four months. I may be an exception to the effects of only drinking alkaline water.

Isn't the nebulizer similar to your recommendation of spraying alkaline water (Ph 8.8 or higher) mixed with baking soda into your throat??  Which is a great idea, and I am doing this now.

Dr. Koufman, if one manages to get rid of pepsin in their throat, and cures their reflux, can they go back to a normal healthy diet and eat yogurt and kefir, which are both acidic??

I have had reflux in and off,  developed asthma around 9 years back after an upper respiratory infection, was managing with fostair until  recently on my lung function tests mt FENO was 120.. could it be caused by reflux ?

Have a question for your next video. After doing the detox diet, how  long should one take the 20 mg Famotidine in the a.m. and 40 mg in the p.m?  Is it safe to take for years?  I was prescribed Famotidine for my (38-year) chronic cough many years ago. I only take it on occasion. Should I begin to take it daily for the rest of my life, even if my symptoms improve?

Does this treatment also apply to Bile reflux, which was diagnosed with endoscopy?

Didn't understand her comment about 80% people don't have asthma.  Did she mean that they have reflux and not asthma?

Still alive 😂
