A member asked:
Can regular use of alkaline water ph8 or higher be helpful in dealing with esophogitis and lapryngeal reflux symptoms.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: So called alkaline water's effects are SUPERFICIAL and TEMPORARY if it has any effect at all! You need PRESCRIPTIVE advice from a Health Care Professional.. You can try (in the meantime) an OTC H-2 BLOCKER m (EXAMPLE ZANTAC or PEPCID) Hope this is helpful Dr Z
