If water is over 1 gallon per day, make sure you’re getting adequate sodium. And I don’t mean the RDA. Hard training individuals and those working in hot environments should be taking in a good deal more than that

I remeber my father telling me about when he was in training for the national guard down in Texas they had all the guys taking salt pills on a regular basis.

Pure water is 1 gallon. The rest is just from coffee, pre workout, seltzer, etc. I take in a lot of sodium now and salt all of my meals with lite salt(potassium/sodium) and himalayan

good call. I always use a tsp of Redmond real salt pre training too and it’s a great performance enhancer

I had a scope of my upper GI and they diagnosed my eosinophilic esophagitis. He said mine wasnt bad enough to stretch out. They can stretch out the strictures and make it bigger again, but he chose not to do mine. Not sure why he just didnt do it. Im still having problems and this started way back around 2012 or so. All of my big problems started after my heart attack.

Taking Pepcid, Famotadine, helps me and is what i do now.

Another huge thing, avoid alcohol and really spicy food. If I drink some alcohol, the next day I will have trouble swallowing. Its like clockwork.

Protonix, a proton pump inhibitor, worked better than Pepcid but gave me really bad leg cramps. It might be ok for you. Protonix is a script, while Pepcid is OTC. The script Pepcid the doc prescribed was 2x the dose of the OTC extra strength. So now sometimes I take double the dose, 2 pills in the AM and then 2 pills in the PM. Im now taking 2 in the AM and 1 in the PM.

Look into zinc-l carnosine supplementation. It has anti acid properties and can help with gerd symptoms. I have noticed since I started using it I haven’t been choking as often, or swallowing as much air when I eat
