I have no idea how I ended up subscribed to your Substack, but I really enjoy reading your posts. They are simple. They are filled with useful information. And they are a quick read.
Random question - my partner can't stop clearing her throat after brushing her teeth in the morning (night is not an issue). She says it is not a tickle, but more clearing phlegm. It has happened with Tom's and Crest brands - so not sure whether it's a specific ingredient. I think it is some kind of GERD symptom - but curious about your thoughts. Thank you!
That makes sense! This, to me, seems so specific that I thought it may have been something you've come across in the past and have a simple remedy. But I can certainly understand not wanting to diagnose issues via a blog comment section. Thank you and keep up the great work!
I like that all your tips are evidence based. Can you write more about the effect of supplements in acid reflux? My gastroenterologist has me in more than a dozen for that and bloating (mushroom powders, probiotics, prebiotics, fiber powders, and many more + lots of different vitamins + prilosec). Is any of this evidence based? I am not sure is doing much except for the prilosec.
Thanks for nonpharm techniques for better lives. You keep getting in the way of lumping all docs and other HCPs into a single unfair pile. Btw, given many responses to your GLP1 writings, maybe these GLP1 drugs can be repurposed for mental health and addiction interventions.
Thank you the timing is perfect. I’m curious….you never mentioned alcohol?
IMO avoid 😀
So interesting! Thanks for sharing these tips.
You’re welcome!
I’ve just remembered that I recently read an article in The Conversation about “Pill-induced oesophagitis: why your medication could be damaging your throat – and what to do about it”, which relates to inflammation and reflux etc. Just in case it’s also of interest to anyone, the link is: https://theconversation.com/pill-induced-oesophagitis-why-your-medication-could-be-damaging-your-throat-and-what-to-do-about-it-268430
Thanks for sharing! Yes I pick this up occasionally on gastroscopy
Refreshing to read a strategy of non-pharmacologic therapeutics! Well done!
Thank you 😀😀
Thank you

Glad to hear you enjoy the newsletter!
Very difficult to give bespoke advice on a platform like this without knowing your partners exact circumstances. Hope you can understand

Can confirm these all work! Apart from giving up smoking which I was unable to do, never having smoked.
Ufff back of the net!
