- How To Overcome Acid Reflux - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
Acid Reflux.
What is it and how do we get rid of it?
In this video tutorial, we walk through the various forms of Acid Reflux (GERD), its causes, its symptoms, and how it particularly affects our singing voice.
Many people have some form of reflux and don't even know it.
While the esophagus was designed to handle a certain amount of acid from the stomach, the larynx (voice box) was not.
Explore with me the cause and effects of Acid Reflux and how to manage and eliminate this vocal cord killer!

A year after discovering this video, I'm as healthy as ever and haven't had to deal with any serious reflux symptoms in a while. I've even lost 30 pounds since last year.
SaintSentry- That's totally awesome... thanks for the update!!
I am a sugarfree glutenfree vegan since I am 14, with 27 I still got silent reflux which caued me Asthma. It took my doctor 5 years to find that out. He gave me an acid blocker, which didnt cure me.
Later I found out, that acid reflux (silent or not) makes pepsines attach to your throat, which starts to tighten your chest and disolving your throat. I read that gurgling with alkaline water (baking soda plus water) is the only way to wash the pepsines away, and it worked.
My doctor here in Germany would never believe in baking soda, but I did it and my asthma vanished.
That is awesome to hear! Here's to your continued good health!
Yes, I can believe that. My grandma used to take a teaspoon of baking soda daily & she swore by it. How often do you gargle with the alkaline water and baking soda?
Galliano please tell me how do you make this gargle... how much baking soda do you place in a glass of water? and for how long do you gargle and how often.... i have tightness on my chest 24/7. I eat healthy, have a healthy weight but the chest tightness, and feeling of shortness of breath is just there. Endoscopy done, all normal. Took protonix for 2 months, did help but not normal. THANKS
I’m in trouble as well I was first diagnosed with COPD then asthma . So now they say it’s COPD asthma overlap. I’ve got gerd and I think it was mostly silent but now it’s not . I was prescribed omperazole but been reading cider vinegar before food so I’m just starting doing that . I will try the sodium bicarbonate mouthwash my throat is terrible now.
@@lauraburgos7956 Sometimes it is tension in your body that causes all this. Give yourself a deep massage or have someone massage you. Massage your neck, back and your stomach gently. Also release stress, eat healthy and drink water. Make sure your vitamin levels are normal. I wish you the best.
This is great Ken! I had Silent Reflux for several months a couple of years ago, which was really affecting my voice. I already had a good diet, and don't drink or smoke - but the key for me was cutting out caffeine. I also got into the habit of having 1Tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar (Organic - with "the mother" in it) diluted into a small glass of water 10 minutes before eating with every meal. Making my diet even more alkaline, not eating late at night and following this habit with Apple Cider Vinegar has made it go away, and stay away! ACV is amazing. Thanks for sharing this info! Singers can overcome this. :)
Brioni Faith- Awesome!
There are several components to treatments for heartburn. One place I discovered which successfully combines these is the Amirykal Heartburn Remedies (check it out on google) definately the no.1 resource i've seen. look at the unbelievable info .
Great information Ken. Thank you so much for every minute and section of this Video! You have bought the right to talk about this! Very important information!!
Hey, I can relate to you, I also drink ACV so that it can help my acid reflux and it is really helpful. I'am still recovering by now and how is your voice, did you get your voice back is it healthy? Please let me know, thank you :)
Hey there, do you drink it before breakfast too?
This is a topic that unfortunately many of us have questions about and need some answers. Check this out, and get relief if this is something that affects your voice or your life. Let me know what other tutorials you would like to know more about, and what songs you would like to see in future singing demonstrations!
Any more vids and info on Acid reflux would be appreciated thanks Ken!
I would love to see a video on a reflux-friendly meal plan. Like sample meals for breakfast/lunch/dinner, what the portion sizes look like, snack ideas, etc 😃 Great video!!
Anyone else here because they're struggling with stress-related reflux in lockdown?
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you get some relief soon!
Yep, that would be me, that and the worst diet for reflux. Surprised it never bothered me before. Almost have it under control. Mainly LPR for me. Just went to the ENT and he told me no damage or nodes on the folds. Which is really good, just have to keep with the better diet. It takes some time for some people to fully recover.
Yes
Music Turtle Music what is the diet you are taking?
@@musicturtletony8498 exactly it never bothered me before but now i'm on my worst episode ever and i doest look like its going to leave
This is a lot of useful information in one video. I've been suffering from a whole range of problems due to acid reflux for 20 years now and only just recently I got on the long road to full recovery. Believe or not, I've been on heavy antacids for 20 years (41yo now). After 6 years of almost giving up on my singing career, I'm cautiously optimistic now of regaining a fully operational and clean instrument once again. For everyone wondering what to do.. Do what this guy is saying. It's starting to work for me.
Your advice is dead-on correct! Thank you! Diet changes fixed everything for me! WHOLE foods with elimination of gluten, processed foods, sugar...helped tremendously. Did not go vegan but eat plenty of veggies with a low carb diet. I do fine on 3 meals per day but I never overeat or eat within 3 hours of bed. Don’t take the meds!
Whats the type of diet called that you take? & wha tu you think about keto diet Is it a bad diet*^_^
@@pdswrld5200 Keto diet is really bad for your health.There are death cases due to kidney failure caused by the practice of keto diet...
You need to avoid acidic foods ,Spicy foods and eat food atleast 2 hours before bed and don't fill your tummy....Follow this and you will see a difference.
@@fizz5623 .
Ok. Thanks!
Thanks for showing us your stomach and it's scars, it is a good testimony. Don't be shy to do so.
It's a daily reminder that I have a lot to be thankful for. 😊
Great. The reference to aloe Vera Juice. What would the dosage? Thanks
Wow!
Quite informative.
Thanks for sharing bro.
I am trying to get all the help I can.
Only recently I started having problems with my stomach but thank God it hasn't affected my vocal chords.
My range is quite good.
my wife and I have been having GERD for years and never thought it was the cause of so many problems, been to hospitals many times, but here it is Ken knows what to do first hand
I hope you get some relief!
Your personal story is not TMI. It was generous of you to share it. You have overcome so much. You are not only knowledgeable you are inspirational.
Outstanding video, thank you for sharing so much of your own story as well. Also, even making one or two small changes can lead to significant health benefits over time! Just chewing slowly is one of them. Great book and overall suggestions, Ken!
I've been battling acid reflux for a long time and it has really affected me. Thank you for making this video, it's really educational!
Every day I watch another one of your videos and my respect for you is increased exponentially.
😊
Dude I cant believe the timing of me rediscovering you....you have no idea how much youve helped in the last 2 days. We tend to put guys and gals like you on a pedestal, but you are like us, just more experience. Thanks for your honesty
Thanks for listening, Cosmic!
I agree. I also feel lucky to have found Ken’s channel - excellent information done in a down-to-earth manner. I sing and it is useful to me.
It was meant to be. Finding your channel was a God send. I was on the right track but you added so much more.
Bless your heart ! ❤️. Yes, you’ve earned the right to talk about digestive issues .
Everything you have explained including voice hoarseness and having a hard time to breathe have been experienced by my daughter for 3 years because of Acid Reflux and GERD! She doesn't want to take PPIs because of side effects! All she did are safe home remedies and now she is cured. A lot have been asking her how she go over this disease and she now had videos dedicated to Acid Reflux to help others to. Good stuff Ken you have explained everything so clear in just 20mins! I hope lots of people can watch this video to eat healthy and avoid PPIs as maintenance. By the way my daughter's channel is Dee Dang. ❤️
How did your daughter heal ?
What are PPI's and what are the side effects?
recently diagnosed with a Hiatus Hernia/ gerd and found this very informative and relaxing. Thank you for your time on this subject.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video, Ken! Thank you!
Also, thank you to the posters with the great information and stories too! :)
Thank you Ken for putting this information out there. It is much appreciated.
You are more than welcome, Nachaka! Thanks for commenting!
Thank you, Ken! I was a successful full time voice actor until silent reflux caused me to develop muscle tension dysphonia. After a year, the MTD subsided with lots of therapy, but now I have severe obvious reflux that's making it difficult to work and I appreciate this informative, thorough video so much. I've tried everything and nothing has helped yet but this gives me hope.
Hello Shannon. I've had a same problem recently. How are you doing right now?
Hi shannon, how are you doing now? Ive had a similar situation
I feel so sorry for you ... And myself .. going through the same ...
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, You are the exemplar of courage, from surgery to a Captivating Voice! Best Wishes to you always!
Thank you, Lorna!
Thank you so much for this! Thanks especially for sharing your health journey and showing your warrior scars. As a rare disease warrior myself, and survivor of multiple life threatening conditions and 11 surgeries (many abdominal), you have given me hope! I already eat the way you teach, and I've regained a lot of vocal function over the past few months, but my current issue is acid reflux that makes it very difficult to sing or even speak after eating. I will take these tips and continue with the vocal rehab exercises. Thanks again!
This is absolutely fascinating. Thanks for all the great information!
You're welcome, Vicki! 😊
Mr tamplin you are so smart. Thanks for helping with great avice. On so many great subjects
You rock 🎸
You're welcome, Joey! Thanks for your comment!
Very good. You are a certified well explainer. Even a doctor doesn't explain that much thoroughly and with conviction. Wow. Thanks for taking this much time to explain. As it is, your experience makes the best teacher for us. All the best.
Glad it was helpful!
I've been curious about this for so long. Thank you so very much for this video. It's bugged me for a long time.
You're welcome, Noe! Thanks for your comment!
Just jumping in on this. Thanks so much for sharing this info. I knew some of it but it's always good to hear it again as a reminder that I'm going the right direction with dieting.
Happy to help, Macklyn!
Great information and so true from my personal experience. You're awesome!💜
Thanks, ITree!
thank you so much. i nearly lost the hope to sing again. your vid is so inspiring and just in time!
Maks Petreno- Glad you are inspired! Get out there and sing!!
Thanks Ken!Great information.Keep well!
Thank you Ken. I'm not a singer but happen to stumble upon your video. You were highly informative. I appreciate you.
Thank you Ken for your info on Acid reflux. I had it so bad that I burned my vocal chords and created a small soft node on my vocal chords. I was scoped twice by the best ENT in Sacramento. He gave me a sheet the second time about acid reflux. I thought it was from singing too hard for too long but no. I have the silent type until I woke up choking on fluid coming up my windpipe one nite. It felt like I was drowning..awful.
Sleep on left side at an elevated position. Dont eat before you sleep and I chew gum all the time. I do take zantac when it really burns but try to stay away Ken is correct on everything he says about this. I notice the more stressful I am the worst it gets and my voice instantly goes horse. But good news my voice is coming back with the help of Ken's course. Ken I give you snaps for showing your stomach..shooting a rocket into your gut accidently must of been shocking. You are so cool and real. Take care. Juli
Your stomach showing was a humble thing to do, your actually very awesome for that!🙌🏼
I appreciate that!
Very helpful ken with your own example. Great info. Thanks buddy!
Thanks for the info, I am educating myself so I can help myself. I've kicked PPI meds into touch, after reading what they do. Luckily I was only 2 weeks into them. Now focused on all the info I have to effect a change. Your delivery is great and easy to understand.
Rock on! 😀
You really know your updated stuff about acid reflux!
Everything you said is 100% spot on!!! I've been researching this same stuff and finally finding solutions through food as medicine. 100% truth in this video!
summer carson Good for you summer!! That's right!
I have acid reflux and agree with everything he’s saying. I never expected a video of acid reflux from this channel before I but guess it really goes hand and hand. Good information
I'm happy to help, Justine!
This the best information you have explain it so clearly all that you have said with the dry coughing
Makes a lot of sense to me...thank you for sharing !
Thanks for your kind words, Sonia! 😊
Thank you for sharing your scars. You give me hope for my future. Wishing you well.
Thank you, otter poppin!
You are one cool dude teaching this, it’s all relevant for us singers! I bow down to your expertise in this area 💜💜💜
Thank you for such a down-to-earth yet helpful video :) Really made me believe that I could get it under control!
Glad it helped!
I'm a singer and have been taking anti acid medication for over fifteen years because it interrupted my singing. Thank you so much for posting a video on the topic.
How did you get rid of it bro ..please let me know ..i too am suffering acid reflux for an year now ..
Not able to sing
First I have heard of LPR no doctor has ever mentioned it. This is so well explained and helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Omg Ken! You've just saved me from going down the wrong path! Thank you sooo much! This is perfect! 💖
😊
Very engaging video. You captured and held my attention. Awesome stuff very informative and helpful. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, EB!
Dear Ken thank you for your work!
You're welcome, Alex!
I watched the early version of this same video from Ken maybe 9 years ago. Back then I was bullet proof. But now I'm feeling a tad vulnerable and struggle with a bit of reflux. Man Ken think you may have put me on a health and life style change! For the sake of my singing.
Have to make changes as we navigate this life. Thanks for the visit! Rock on!
Thank you for all the valuable information legend!
Thank you so much for sharing this my Brother. You have suffered and overcome so much! You have a wonderful speaking voice. This is my first time here. Acid Reflux has been such an issue for my singing. I have not known what to do...
Oh my goodness! Thank you thank you thank you!!! Real advice that I can use to naturally control this stinkin reflux. God bless you!!
I'm glad you found it to be helpful, Homemade!
Thanks so much Ken. I’ve followed ur channel to learn how to sing few years ago. I’m a rapper now and few months ago i started having sore throat and it didn’t go away. It got worse every month to a point now can’t even speak for more than a few sentences and my I will lose my voice and my lymph will swell. I’ve been to numerous doctors and specialists and finally figured out I have GERD. I’ve been taking all these antacids and PPIs and man let me tell you, PPIs have side effects man, they affect ur mood crazily. Never in a million years would I expect a vocal teacher who I subscribed few years ago would talk about GERD! Thank you so much for all the information and I’m so sorry to hear about ur adversities as well. I’m starting a new alkaline diet today and hopefully I’ll be able to get back to recording soon.... I’ve not been able to record any of my songs for a few months now. The frustration and agony man fuckin hell. Once agin thank you so much Ken!!!!
Glad you've been able to get it all figured out! I wish you the speediest of recoveries! Rock on! 😀👍
Any updates? How did it go?
Thank you for sharing your story. Very grateful.
This has been one of most valuable and well presented information! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome, Manju!
OMG! This guy is wonderful, fluent in sharing his knowledge and frank. Just came upon him by accident
Glad you're here.
Please do a video on your HIATAL HERNIA journey! Would love to watch this!
There won`t be more heartburn or chest pains right after I started applying this heartburn treatment bit.ly/2DoED3U my acid reflux was fully healed! Rashes including the constant fatigue I was encountering on a regular basis have vanished. I really feel wonderful and at the peak of my health.
Great info.... I 've suffered from this for a long long time and was diagnosed with Barretts esophagus. I finally found a great doctor who said that I had a small hiatal hernia. Now that ive had surgery and feel much better (no morning hack) i now need to repair and strengthen my vocal chords and hopefully sing better. Peace.
Very thorough - Thanks Ken - Best wishes.
Very informative.
Thank You Sir.
rishi_ rsp- You are welcome!! :)
I’ve had acid reflux on and off for years. Now I make my own ACV and it’s delicious and it works. As a singer this reflux situation has been terrible but I hope I can get it under control. Thanks for the vid.
Best of luck to you, Linda!
Best informative video I have seen on RUclips. Thanks for the information ❤️
That is great to hear, Ms Jackson!
Just want to say u are an inspiration and such a big help! Ths vid is SUPERB & FASCINATING knowledge! I’ve ONLY JUST been diagnosed with GERD,I have shocking burning pain & throat spasms;burping;clearing of throat all time;Plemgh;chest pain & have nearly passed out with it! I now realise since learning about GERD,that this is what I’ve been suffering with since I was 18yrs old,and I’m now 46! In this exc vid of yours,you’ve made MORE SENSE to me than any specialist I’ve ever seen! I obvs need to take a serious look at my nutrition/food etc...but I’m starting by making small changes and taking things abit at a time,cos like many people,I’ve realised I’m v.addicted to SUGAR & CARBS & have been most of my life! I’m so restricted as frustratingly im unable to make meals from scratch-raw/fresh cos im in constant hip/sacro pain,hence I have to rely on ready meals😩Then It’s so difficult cos re my chronic pain(which I’ve had for 10 yrs) I get v.low mood & then I comfort eat! You have a lovely relaxing voice and altho I’m not a singer I do njoy singing to myself/my pets🤣🐹🐰🤣every day as therapy for my chronic pain! I find it helps tremendously. My pain cond has been diagnosed as sacroiliitis for which there is no cure😡 Hence my g.p & pain spclst have me on oremorph & OxyContin😩,without them I’d be totally bedbound. So it makes me wonder,when I’ve fully changed my diet/lifestyle to fresh/plant based foods will it actually benefit my health,GERD,etc....due to the horrible meds I’m on? I truly hate being on these meds but have no choice😩I’ve recently bought Dr.koufmans “acid reflux diet” bk So was v.glad to see u rec it. I’m going to buy her other book too,dropping acid. Huge thank you for this incredible info,it’s helped me so much! You are fascinating to listen to! Take care ,Faye (uk)
I hope you continue to recover, Faye!
This is good advice, I would like to add H.Pylori overgrowth in the stomach as a major contributor to GERD and other digestive issues, would be worth looking into if you're struggling with acid reflux.
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, Thank you for your wealth of knowledge that you have disseminated, especially Mucus on The Vocal Chords which I have never heard of! You are a most Erudite Gentleman!!!
My pleasure!
Thanks so much for this video Ken. Top class mate!
You're welcome, Rico! Thanks for your comment!
This was very helpful sir. Thanks
Sir, thank you. You have explained acid reflux better than many physicians. I admire you. Even did some voice exercises you have on your Vid's Regards.
Thank you for your kind remarks, Henk! 😊
I've been suffering from gerd for half a year now but there's also something else that the doctors can't quite identify. I usually feel nausea and sometimes the esophagus on fire. This all started from eating some meat that was medium-rare and before that it happened because of rare meat both times at restaurants. While my body was able to fight it off before, this year it seems like it's reached breaking point and I can't shake it.
Thanks for this video. I have a hiatal hernia and terrible reflux. I hate the medications I've been told to take. They help with the heartburn, but the reflux still happens and my throat is almost always irritated. When it's bad, talking is hard, let alone singing. And I'm about to buy your program.
great video Ken
Ken, I commented on one of your videos (The How to get rid of Mucus video) a while back complaining about having been a professional singer for 30 years and then not singing as much for about 5 years and then losing my range and quality, having a phlegmy voice, mucus and lump in my throat, etc... It was really disappointing and discouraging. I finally figured out that silent/acid reflux is my problem! I actually thought I was having a lung problem because the pain was in my chest and I also had a dry cough frequently. I didn’t immediately connect the vocal problem with what I thought was a lung problem, but when I went to the pulmonologist he said my lungs are fine and that he thought I had silent reflux. He gave me Prilosec and within a couple of weeks I felt much better and my vocal range and quality improved significantly. Anyway, I don’t want to keep taking the meds. I want to fix this with diet and natural remedies, so thank you for this great video!! I am super encouraged that I can correct this naturally and hopefully permanently. It gives me hope that you have had some problems like this. Sorry for the long comment!
Best wishes on your journey. I hope you find relief soon!!
I am a singer with Lpr. That really sucks. And I have lost my range couple of times because of that. And when you sing with Lpr, you get easily muscle tension. Now I try to keep it in control. Your channel is so awesome. And you sing so good. Thanx for giving us hope to carry on.
My pleasure, Janne!
Hey I’m a teacher with LPR… I feel my voice is sooo weak. How do you deal with it?
I’m scared my vocal cords will get granulomas or even worse.. as we use them a lot 🙏🏼
Dude! I love this video and I’m glad I’ve found it. I’ve been researching acid reflux and hiatal hernias. It was in my recommended vids. I’m a subscriber!!! Now that I see you’re a musician that’s a huge bonus. Thanks for and keep up spreading the right information!
Great! You are so knowledgeable! Thanks so much, I needed this!
My Videos - Thank you!
Thanks for the great info. I was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus and was on PPI for 3 years. Thankfully my recent scopes showed no Barrett's, but the potential is always there...Unfortunately most licensed professionals only prescribe PPI's for this, but I have been off for 4 months now, (rebound reflux is a challenge)...but still take Zantac at night....and will try with better diet. As a singer/guitarist the voice has really been affected....very frustrating and at times afraid to sing out anymore....your speaking voice sure sounds great, so I'm hopefully thinking there could be improvement someday....
Sir.. I needed this ❤️
Glad I could help, Sanjeet!
This was really useful Ken - thank you !
You're welcome, trueblue!
Thanks for this information!
I fight this. It comes and goes. Really appreciate your vids
dssman19and73 Thank you!
Not a singer but thank you for the tips and explanation you provided in your video. Well done.
You're welcome, Christian!
You are brave to go through all that surgery. Thank you for showing it.
Thank you, Toka Shoni!
Thank you for the advice. I've been struggling with acid reflux for almost 10 years taking nexium every day just to relieve the symptoms but never getting better, until I started to take raw cabbage juice 3 times a day and the reflux just disappeared, I share my experience here in case someone find this information useful.
Is the cabbage juice fermented or not?
There are 6 main reasons why we get acid reflux:
1. Age, (or antibiotics) resulting in lower levels of stomach acid.
2. A stomach ulcer.
3. Bacteria H Pylori - creating an imbalance of healthy versus unhealthy (get healthy from kefir)
4.Hiatal Hernia.
5. (Most overlooked) Stress.
6. Bad diet, not chewing adequately enough, and eating too much.
I don't really agree with this guy's take on high fat foods causing it. I used to get acid reflux that lasted an entire DAY, and since I started a ketogenic diet (high fat, medium protein, very low carbohydrates), and I have only had it once - fir 30 minutes. BUT, the rest of the video is spot on (also, cranberry supplements are good for stomach).
The acid that reaches the esophagus is not from the stomach (hydrochloric), but from the small intestine - when there's not enough acid in the stomach, the digestive system compensates, and literally pushes up from the intestines, lactic acid, which has a different effect on the sphincter.
All the above + undiagnosed Epstein Barr Virus.
Ken, you are so wise.
Tell that to my kids.
Thanks for your amazingly informative videos!!
You're welcome, suescape!
Thanks much for this wonderful information
You're right when you say a lot of people with LPR don't know they have it, because I absolutely didn't until I spoke with an ENT. I thought all along that maybe I was eating too much and too fast, or wasn't drinking enough water (I admit that I wasn't and should've been more conscientious about it), the gunk in my throat was from too much dairy, and so on. But I didn't worry about it because I wasn't in excruciating pain. However, when I started to get more serious about doing theatre I knew I needed to find out what was going on. Its been an uphill battle figuring out what works for me, changing eating habits, finding an appropriate diet, etc, but I'm working at it. I actually found an online course from a website called Refluxgate which was created by a man who dealt with LPR for many years and overcame it, and the course has been a big help so far. It even comes with an acidity guide and a collection of recipes. I did take Omeprezole for a while but it didn't do much, but I've been on Ranitidine for about a year which is supposed to keep the acid in your stomach so it doesn't slide into your esophagus. Thank you for sharing this with us and it's always a relief to hear there is hope.
Andrew, tell me how is Refluxgate working for you now? It looks like a great course and I am considering it. I have LPR recently diagnosed by an ENT. I have taken PPI’s for forever and really was shocking to me to hear I still have reflux. I had never even heard of LPR. I also have a hiatal hernia which doesn’t help.
Wow so I’ve been dealing with a chronic cough thinking I developed asthma. I decided to try taking a tum and the cough went away.
This tells me it is definitely an acid issue and now I’m going to start the journey of a healthier lifestyle to address this. I know taking tums long term is not ideal.
I developed a chronic cough in 2021. It's almost 2023 and im still coughing. Singing aggravates it. I haven't really sung in over a year. I received asthma tests which I passed with flying colors HOWEVER they found high levels of inflammation in my lungs and sent me to the Gastro. They found acid reflux in my esophagus and gave me Omezaprole. It doesn't really work. I'm currently looking for a natural remedy. Good luck on your journey!
Certain medications, such as some blood pressure medications can cause a cough. Additionally, chronic, persistent cough may occur as an adverse effect of omeprazole therapy. You may have to pare your diet WAY back then slowly add foods and pay close attention to how your body is affected. Be sure to not eat after 6:00PM and never lie down shortly after eating or drinking. Take daily walks. All of this will reduce your discomfort.
Thank you for this advice Ken.
You're welcome, Paula!
Thank you for making this video. Currently de as long wi tg h LPR symptoms and you gave me hope!
Hi michele.😀
This video helped so much thank you I bought the book I am currently dealing with gastritis and acid reflux I have the feeling of a lump on my throat and tightness in the middle of my chest
I'm glad this was helpful!
Love your channel. Bless ya
Thanks, Equal Rights!
My ENT told me I had reflux laryngitis and prescribed proton pump inhibitors. I kept getting worse and worse and a year later was finally diagnosed with severe SIBO. Three years later I still have it and it has severely adversely affected my voiceover career. Antacids only promote bacterial imbalance in the gut and it can be a really rough road so don’t do it unless you have severe gastritis or cancer forming in your esophagus or something like that. Thank you for this!
Great video, Ken. Again, it all comes down to healthy habits. Thanks for sharing all this information.
You're welcome, Theonlymightydem!
Is anyone else super skinny and can’t beat this? Every doctor or article I see focuses on heavy people needing to lose weight. Last time I perfected my diet to avoid GERD, I went skeletal.
Will be interesting to hear the responses.
@@kentamplin I've ticked everything off the list with doctors apart from a barium swallow, so hopefully that'll finally wield some results. It's a constant balancing act eating enough to maintain weight whilst avoiding acid reflux before shows.
Out of curiosity.
How tall are you and what is your weight?
Thank you for this. I am in the same boat. Dropping gluten, sugar dairy and red meat. I am super skinny. I don't like it one bit. And yet, acid reflux is still present.
Not super skinny, but I'm thin. I, too, have been hearing a lot of supporting evidence for these methods but it's almost always accompanied with the fact that people lose at least 50 lbs. I don't have that much to lose! I also eat nearly exactly what is recommended, and have for years. A few google *scholar* searches (in open-access, peer-reviewed journal articles) have shown me that the data doesn't strongly support *what* food is being consumed, but rather, when, how quickly, and what we are doing with our bodies (bending over vs remaining upright after meals). A meta-analysis shows that PPIs haven't been found to have adverse effects on those who are not in vulnerable populations like elderly or infants.
I've been on PPIs for a year, though, and only combining them with tums is making a difference. Has anything improved for you?
Ken I'm amazed at how you overcame major physical adversity and still came out one of the most wonderful singers I've heard ever. This inspires me and reminds me there is always a solution. We just have to find it. Thank you for showing your scars. It brought a message home loud and clear. I'm on your singing program and have had some surgery too recently. My fear was that physical health problems might hinder my singing. You just put paid to that idea, its all about attitude, perseverance, and of course, the right teacher.
Thanks for the kind words, Suzanne! 😊
THANK YOU KEN! I cannot thank you enough for your helpful hints and tips on acid reflux. I myself suffering a freak trip landed on a corner of a curb ( we call here in UK) which is the pavement edge that I bruised all my boob and caused a hernia but small. It still causes acid reflux when I eat certain foods especially like meat protein, and I am nut intolerant too. A lot going on like you. You were very brave and so helpful showing your stomach area to try to relate that was a real connection to me and helped me see you knew the issues this problem can cause. People go “oh I have acid reflux and hernia” as if it’s a throwaway comment I hear all the time but it causes no end of issues to the throat. Your help has been just an eye opener to what can be done with changing diet and looking up qualified persons to help..... thanks again Ken not a glamorous subject to touch on I applaud you👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💜💜💜
I'm so glad it was helpful, Karen!
Thank you so much Ken! Helped me a lot!
Modeste I'm really happy to hear that!
