Manuka Honey

Here are some benefits also. It says in one of their articles to take it with something like bread of cracker. If you take it by itself then it goes to your blood system instead of the stomach

rawjoy- awesome you corrected GERD yourself, naturally.

I would like to try manuka as a preventative for re-occurrence.

I cured my GERD using another natural product, D-Limonene, but I like some of the other properties manuka seems to have.

(PPI's are evil, they messed me up worse)

Thank you! I need to make an appointment to see the surgeon after the first of the year. I had a consultation with him last September, and was absolutely positive that all I would need was the hernia repair. After all, I had managed to fix everything without without their medication! It pretty much floored me when he insisted I still needed the wrap. I was not very accepting of that recommendation.

However, upon further reflection and reading, I realize that I don't have an "acid reflux" issue. Meaning that without the hernia and LES, I wouldn't be having any acid reflux at all. My problem is an anatomical one where normal acid production is just kind of sitting there and flowing back and forth without anything to keep it where it should be.

Over the years, I've learned your body can heal itself for many conditions. I've been able to correct high blood pressure with no medication, and address my clinical depression where I only take a minimal maintenance dose instead of struggling on various medications for years. There are instances medical intervention is the only real solution (ahem, like this one) and where I need to put reality before my stubbornness. Thankfully, I'm at peace with going ahead, even though I know it won't be easy.

Hello Davome,

What is Golden Syrup and where do you buy it? I am desperately looking for something that will help to heal my sore throat from acid reflux. I teach for a living and this constant sore throat is a nightmare.

Thank you,

I have a Gerd problem, and have used many things to reduce acidity, the best results have come from Golden Syrup, when the reflux first starts happening.
I use a teaspoon of Golden Syrup, and let it rest in my mouth, for a long time, and let it slowing descend.
Within 2 days, my acidity, excess Gas went away, and I can now sleep in a warm bed, instead of sleeping in a vertical position
The reason I think is, that the syrup lines your gullet on the way down, and also helps your valve on the way down.
What I can't work out is the excessive Gas I was fighting, disappeared also
I also don't use the same amount of syrup, after every meal and the pain has gone away also
The best way I can describe it, is a method of healing the effects of the acidity in your gullet, and it is a automatic process.
Just remember to leave it in your mouth as long as possible, for the slow transfer to your gullet
Take notice of how hard it is too clean the excess syrup from your spoon, I think that's why it works so well on your gullet

Hi There,

The biggest improvement you may find is a reduction in irritation of the oesophagus and possibly upper intestine if there is current soreness or ulceration.

As a long time esophagitis sufferer who has done everything conceivably possible, including redo nissen operations, I found Manuka Honey medical grade to have helped a bout of severe esophagitis. I believe it achieved this by coating the lining of the oesophagus and helping reduce inflammation due to its anti bacterial properties. That appears tl be allowing things to heal more quickly. I certainly notice the difference.

That, plus continuation of the PPIs and the usual gluten free, chocolate free, caffeine free, alcohol free, spicy food free, elevated bed head, weight loss and other untold deprivations, is helping.

Good luck
