Re: Exercise to Strengthen Esophageal Sphincter and Eliminate Gastric Reflux (2022)
#12I used to get acid reflux, it was really noticeable while trying to sleep, but that changed after I drank some water (by accident) from inside a cave of a small island near Vanuatu. This led to the worst throat infection I've ever had, after treating it with antibiotics, I stopped having acid reflux altogether. It's been 5 years now without any acid reflux. However, I've now been diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagit…
Did you perhaps have H. Pylori and your antibiotics eliminated it? I was also diagnosed with EoE recently - my understanding is that it also causes symptoms that feel like reflux, but aren’t. Very occasionally I might actually have a bit of reflux (evidenced by a bit of regurgitation), but the burning sensation that I used to attribute to reflux I now attribute to EoE instead. Seems worse when I’ve recently been eati…
I suspect thats the case, but EoE became a thing for me within months of that ordeal so I suspect there is a connection. My EoE symptoms are difficulty swallowing and esophageal spasms. I have access to oral budesonide which does stop it however it elevates my heart rate.

> Honestly I wonder how much of acid reflux is connected to the gut bacteria.
There's almost literaly an unexplored world in our gut, related to the most unexpected things.-

#14Hopefully the results get replicated with a meaningfully sized cohort. If that happens then it provides an incentive for the creation of alternative exercises or devices to provide a similar effect.
Indeed. The posture advised in the article is far from comfortable.-

When it comes to our mental and physical health, gut bacteria is our second soul.

#16found this article on reddit last year and have been trying this freqently. There are a lot of other exercises ( including some yoga ones) on youtube.
Nothing seems to have made any difference for me so far, unfortunately .
I also had upper endoscopy, barium swallow and other tests but none of those found anything at all. PPIs and such don't do anything. I've tried other 'home remdies' like apple cider vinegar, drinking alkaline water, not eating ( or eating ) certain types of food. no help :/.
I am otherwise healthy with 'normal' bmi and workout almost everday and stay active.

Great way to put it, really.-

Did you try cutting out 'enriched' flour? That seems to be a major trigger of heartburn for me and I do a lot better without it.

So sorry. It must be really flummoxing. Could it be some sort of (mis) "trained" muscle reflex or action, where the involved sphicter has gone rogue, somehow, leading to badly cordinated physiological response?

Genuinely curious, what is it usually "enriched" with?
