Did you try Azithromycin against GERD?

To reduce acidity and fight my big oesophagus inflammation, I started to drink this mineral water (with pH 7.6) and it seems to work pretty well, although I'm not sure if it won't do other problems if I keep it too long.

I haven't used azithromycin in like 10 years, why? I'm negative for h pylori.

Sorry, I thought about azithromycin efficiency in gastric motility, (which is real), but for gastroparesis, not for GERD.

Hi.
A quick question: Are there any ANA/ANCA home test kits (in the UK or Europe) with finger prick blood collection for those who can't access it otherwise? Thank you.

ANA/ANCA home test kits

My pharmacist told me that these home test kits do not guarantee accurate results.
Suggesting finding a nearby lab that can take blood samples.

Medichecks does ANA home testing but it's not by the finger prick method. A nurse could visit to draw blood, or if you are able you can attend a clinic.

I have used home testing kits from Medichecks for many years and find them very reliable (tested all sorts of things, not ANA though).

My reflux comes from a hiatal hernia. Not sure if anything can help with that except surgery, which I can't do.

@sometexan84 Do you think oral probiotics like l reuturi and life extension proflora could interact with and exert antiviral effects on EV's in the stomach tissues once they get into the stomach? I've had GERD/reflux from both of these probiotics 12 months apart and the reflux is really very bad. That or the bacteria in the probiotic simply relaxes the muscle in that area for some reason. Either way I never had GERD/reflux until I started them, but your viral theory makes sense to me.
