Newera,

He did use the word base when describing water. So if a ph of 8.2 is a base, then he must have meant to use the word acidic to describe water. When he used the word base I thought it meant it was neutral and therefore not helping the situation. Sorry for the confusion. I know everyone says drink lots of water, but for me it will be a more alkaline water for the most part.

HTH,
Sewfun :-)

I started another thread this week about water: I discovered that my tap water is neutral out of the tap at 7.5, rising to alkaline at 8.5 when boiled. BUT when put through a water filter it comes out acid at 5.0. I had been drinking lots of filtered water which turns out to be similar to having drunk six black coffees a day - ouch!

I'm hoping changing to alkaline water will help me as I am at the end of the road otherwise, being intolerant of ppis and Zantac doesn't work shakehead

Jasmine 8, thanks for your message, it is a little relief to know I'm not the only one (hope tht doesn't sound selfish!!) I find the only relief I get is when I stand up straight and I start to belch and let some of the air out. Lying down and sitting both set off the breathing issues.
What is the stretta procedure?
Basically I've now been given 40mg of omeprazole and 40mg of domperidone and told that they can think of nothing else if they don't work, have been told to cut out any food that has taste.. i.e spicy, tomato, garlic, caffeine, alcohol and to start exercising to try and strengthen my diaghram. confused

Sorry has Internet problems forever. The stretta--not so sold on. I'm still siting for it to work. They say to give it 6 months. I can't wait any longer and think I'm going to pull the plug on getting a wrap even thou I really dont want to. Stretching, blowing up balloons (or just pretending to) help strengthen the diaphragm. All these home remedies have helped make it bearable but it's still not enough. Good luck this is so not fun!!!! I hope your breathing resolves. Pulmicort really helps me.
