Constant Cough and Clearing of Throat

Posted by Kim (Cos Cob, CT) on 10/03/2006

I am reading this as I cinstantly cough and clear my throat. I have been doing that 4 ever. Went to ear,nose,throat guy cause I was embarrased at work by the constant throat clearing. I have allergies and always thought it was post nasal drip. Got acid reflux when pregnant 13 yrs ago but was diagnosed after having going to 2 GI DRs. a few years ago. One told me I had a hiatal hernia (upper and lower GI same time) the second one told me I didn't, but I have GERD I went to them not because of reflux (don't really notice it all the time) but I have constant upper digestive pressure and I can't burp. Strange noises come out of me as the gas (or what ever it is - DR said air!!) rolls up my esophogus to my throat. Never any relief like a burp would give. I feel like a freak. I am about to try the ACV but was looking for the proper dosage.

Kim: Just try 1 tablespoon of ACV to 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of warm water. Taken once before bedtime and once in the morning. It occured after pregnancy because of multiple deficiencies since the baby will eat up a lot of the mother's nutrients. Therefore, it is advised to take plenty of vitamin B complex, selenium, vitamin E, zinc, magnesium, manganese and molybdenum. On an empty stomach eat oatmeal since silicon is deficient after pregnancy. Raising the immune system and killing off the bugs, by taking licorice extract will help, while kelp will raise the immune system from its high iodine and other sugars. Take Evening primrose taken twice a day. This should cover all the grounds of acid reflux due to pregnancy issue. Ted
