A member asked:

Can alkaline water be somewhat helpful in treating esophogitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What's causing your: ...esophagitis? If acid-related, take acid blockers (alkaline water can be expected to be less effective than OTC antacids here). If bile reflux, alkaline consumption may theoretically exacerbate your problem. Save your money, and treat based on the medical advice of your health professional.
