Surprised a doctor is scamming you. Is it a real doctor? Alkaline water is a scam. Go back on the PPI.
Alkaline "medicine water" healing reflux, colitis and upper respiratory infections.In my country (Hungary) we have this medicine water called Salvus which is drawn from a thermal bath. It has bold claim such as healing GERD, colitis, upper respiratory infections while also treating diabetes and peptic ulcers.I 31M have GERD and my doctor switched me off of PPI's to Salvus water and a low dose of famotidine. Since then I have pretty much non-stop diarrhea and my heartburn got much worse.My question, based on the ingredients, is this medicine water bullshit?Ingredients (mg/l):- Sodium: 5800- Lithium: 2.0- Chlorid: 2020- Bromide: 13.9- Iodide: 2.08- Fluoride: 3.0- Hydrogen-carbonate: 12810
