Guys try low-FOODMAP diet and see if it helps, the gasses might simply be farts from the small intestine due to SIBO. Aka LPR might be side-effect of SIBO which puches the stomach to fart due to pressure
This worked for my silent reflex too!
This is great video you have inspired me thanks 👍
OMG! Thank you for posting this video. I have been dealing with this for about a year and the normal Acid reflux fixes were doing nothing plus the phlegm drainage at night was aweful. Coughing and waking up at night. Last night I got the best sleep I’ve had in a year. I used my netti pot with Saline and Baking soda. Unbelievable how simple this was.
Amazing. I'm so glad you found the video :) I hope you get back to enjoying life again 👊
Just curious. If ACV or Betaine increases Pepsin levels, would that be counterintuitive to taking the Alkaline Water/Baking Soda spray/gargle ?
No. Fixing the stomach is priority #1. You don't NEED the baking soda spray. It's just to help relieve symptoms while we level out the acid in the stomach. Focus on the Betaine. Then if you need the spray in the meantime, use it. You won't need it once the Betaine kicks in.
I was wondering if you could help me out I have been suffering from similar symptoms you have mentioned, and I did the burp test no burps for me. So I have been on ppi medication for around 2years now, so can you tell me if you have stopped taking your medication while taking the Baletain chl so how can I start on that? Thank you
Well that's my story too... I was on PPI's but I weened off, added acid and it fixed me right up! You have to do what makes sense for you, and luckily the risk of trying this is low, but it can just be tricky getting off the PPI's. Let us know if you try it how it works out! Good luck.
Thanksss❤
Glad you found the video!
It would be interesting to see how you would react if you decided to stop drinking all forms of coffee... even decaf.😉
You know, I think I can confidently say it wouldn't be a big deal for me. With that being said, alcohol is the one for me that is harder to shake. I'm sure some people feel that way about coffee so I can relate in that way.
@@TheSAHDLife then give it a try and let me know what happens.😀
@bentrider oh well I often go days in a row without it all the time. I usually either have protein shake in the morning or some tea. Today I didn't have any coffee! Feel fine.
Not quite a week & dying to catch up with locals lve missed. If l go out with a tenner...
Yeah the social aspect is huge for a lot of people. I don't think you're alone there. We went to a party last night and our friend who isn't drinking at the moment had to leave because she was bored. It's a different kind of fun, one that a lot of us aren't used to!
What should I do if I burped a minute after drinking it?
Well, it's a sign that perhaps you have too much acid and need to put your lifestyle and diet under a microscope. I still think all the points at the end of this video DO apply to people with high acid... you need to identify what's causing it. It could be what you're eating, when you're eating, etc. A food journal helps a lot of people... others, an elimination diet. Dairy/gluten seem to be some of the worst offenders but nightshades are common too.
Alcohol is poison to every part of your body, should be illegal.
I wish I could disagree with you but I can't. I still drink it too which is even crazier knowing that! It's that addictive!
The sound is good but it’s a garbage system. Sometimes it won’t let me listen to music even if it says connected it won’t play sound. The one I have doesn’t even have an aux port. You need their app and register to use it. Buy a different brand
The new Sonos app REALLY took a step backwards. It's been out for what, a month? And users are upset! The whole reason you get Sonos is because of the ecosystem and having multiple speakers. I would say if you only want one soundbar, there are other, better options. But if you want a speaker in your kitchen, maybe one in your garage, another in your living room, that's where Sonos really shines ONCE You get used to the app. Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience.
@@TheSAHDLife it worked ok most of the time. I’m using an old Samsung with the app, my current phone is a newer iPhone I guess switching over could probably fix it. Maybe it’s the update that the Samsung is having trouble connecting. It says connected, song plays silent for a minute then I get sound, try to restart song and same thing it’s silent for a minute
Super helpful ! I wonder if anyone can tell me, what would happen if you used a stainless steel mug ?
It's a good question and I would like to have played around with it more had I had more different mugs. I think it could work! Moreso if the bottom of the mug was flat AND it fit. It'd be great! But keep in mind it only heats from the bottom, if you don't sip for awhile the liquid on the top might not be as warm as the bottom.
@@TheSAHDLife Wow. Really appreciate your reply. Thank you so much.
If you have a big guy friend, they have another company called built-different , if you do research you will see the owners are the same and the website, adds etc are all the same. If you look at built different site, with promos in Europe with all costs of shipping duties etc a pack of 12 I paid 165 euro a bit less, which is about 13.75 per t shirt, considering it's for bigger guys may it be muscle or fat, it's hard to find bigger t-shirts
Great video. My satellites are only getting half the speed of the main wired deco. Do I have it setup incorrectly?
Thanks for watching! Hmmm that's interesting. The app isn't showing you anything out of the ordinary I'm guessing? Is your satellite anywhere crazy behind concrete walls or really far from the original? Have you tried moving it around to different locations and testing it out then?
@@TheSAHDLife Thanks for the reply. I originally thought it was because they were on different floors of my house, but your video clearly negates that. Your primary deco and your satellites are getting the same speeds?
@davidtamashiro3077 before I go check. Do you mean just the same speeds when you're standing right in front of it doing a speed test on your phone?
@@TheSAHDLife Sorry, yes.
@@davidtamashiro3077 Ok, when I just walked up to the downstairs Deco and did the speedtest it was about half. So what I did was open the app, click on devices, found my phone, made it so it defaulted the downstairs Deco + turned off mesh technology to force it to choose that one, then the speed was the same as the upstairs one. I think it' just takes some time or it has to hit a certain threshold of speed before it switches over. What you CAN do though is set each device for each Deco. So what I've done is all my downstairs devices/smart things I've set to use the downstairs one as the main, then everything upstairs uses the upstairs one. Does that make sense? You turn off the Mesh Network setting for them individually then force which one you want them on. Hope that helps and fixes it for you! Let me know.
Super thanks ! I am on the way to a happy GI track 👏😊
Oh that's so great! It's a frustrating thing to deal with but it's so exciting when you start getting relief. I feel so much better than I did for those years. I'm happy to say I fixed it for good!
I just can’t get past that it doesn’t support DTS or has HDMI pass through
I know... it is brutal that it doesn't. My TV only has 2 hdmi ports and I have a Xbox AND Nvidia Shield. I had to buy a hdmi splitter just so they could both use the Arc sound. It works at least but it's a slight pain.
got a smart tv and never use the apps. i did when i first got it but its so much easier and smoother to just use a computer
I know right? We have a few TV's in the house, and we use our Nvidia Shield's a lot because they have a bit more horsepower than the TV's built in apps which makes for smoother browsing. We use the Netflix and KZread apps quite a bit on one TV though, it's pretty convenient I have to say... cheaper than another Shield! But yeah if you can rock a computer on there instead, even better!!
Do you think one of these could light up a room?
Yeah I don't see why not! I mean, one small bulb might not be the best for lighting up a room on it's own but, it'd do the trick. Just don't expect it to be insanely bright or brighter than any other bulb. But at least you'll be able to RGB control it with the app which is always fun!
Philips is trash, govee all the way. Got rid of lifx and nano....
lol yeah Philips is expensive too. Oof. So much more. My Philips stuff still works but yeah for the price, I'm still happy with the Govee stuff!
You Truly are a BLESSING 🙌 I'm on 3rd day with baking soda test. No burp yet. 2 more days and I will follow your low acid remedy. I have been dealing with two throat Dr's that say acid reflux. Took Nexium for almost a year. "NOTHING" so stopped it. I've never gone thru the pain you have in chest or throat. Just soreness @ times. Once in while feels like something is stuck in my throat. Been feel times I coughed up small piece of food. I've been scoped twice and told lots of mucus and dryness in nose. I tried your baking soda gargle and helps. Hoping to avoid esophageal cancer or bad erosion? Thanks again for being there & caring for us Bless you & Yours 🙏
I'm glad you found the video! And yeah I know how frustrating it is... I've been there! Sometimes unfortunately we just have to take matters into our own hands, and it sounds to me like you are on the right path. After years of suffering with this I have made a full recovery and I'm sure you will too. It will take some time, you will have to be patient. I'm not sure if you have still on the PPI's but you will have to ween off them which is never fun, but you can start adding acid in pretty quick and hopefully will feel the benefit of that asap! Keep me posted with you journey my friend. I'm excited for you!
Excellent tips. I’ll need to watch it 20 times to get it down but excellent nonetheless.
Thanks for the comment! It's been something I've struggled with my whole life... I'm glad you found the video and hope it helps you on your journey 👊
How can i get the test if i am currently on PPis?
You can't :( When I suspected I might have low acid I was on PPI's too. Weening off them sucked but I had a gut feeling it was the right thing to do. I added acid pretty quick and luckily it worked for me. I can't tell you what to do, but if what you are doing isn't working perhaps it's worth a try. I have a newer video on the topic in the pinned comment, maybe watch it when you get a few?
Completely non addictive for me. I gave up and really had no side effects or missed it. Definitely a habit though, however I don't sleep quite as well without it.
That's interesting! I think I'm a bit more like you personally... I wasn't completely devastated by removing it from my life but I know some people have their whole DAY shaped around their coffee/caffeine consumption and removing it would be such a radical change it makes them freak out!
@@TheSAHDLife yes, affects people differently. I think I probably won't go back now. I just drink water or bone broth now.
Thanks for this video mate, this was exactly what I was looking for, because I can exactly relate to every aspect of what you mentioned about your time "with booze". Even the "consumption" of my drinking nights is/was exactly the same. This now gave me extra motivation to give quitting a proper try. Just so many positives to gain while actually nothing meaningful to lose. The last 2min of the video was very honest and I struggle with similar things. Thanks for your honesty. I will make it.
Glad you found the video my friend! Like you said, there's nothing meaningful to lose by taking a break. You'll learn a lot about yourself and the things that are actually important to you. I mean just imagine all the things you'd do or think about if you weren't constantly thinking about drinking or making sure you have booze around. It opens things up. I get back into reading... it makes gaming more fun. It's just great to have that sharpness, clarity, and confidence. That being said I still fall into the trap sometimes, but I don't beat myself up about it. I know now I love taking breaks.
I am going through gerd problem right now. I am going to try this acid test. Will tell you soon what happened. I start to feel out of breath too. Is this symptoms of gerd
Good luck! How is your stress levels? I have had a few people mention being short of breathe. I dealt with that when my anxiety was high but not when it wasn't flaring up. Start with the burp test and let's go from there. The results from that will help you figure out your gameplan.
I’m going through all the symptoms and also feel burnt from my stomach through my upper back 😢
Yeah it's a frustrating thing to deal with. You going to try the burp test?
Watching this video at 1am and can't wait to head to the stores tomorrow.. Suffering for 5 months.. Bless you!
Hehe I totally remember that feeling myself. Keep me posted with how it goes! I'm excited for you 👊
hey whats the chair you got?
It was the Very Office Chair from Haworth. I got it used for about $350 CAD. It was great BUT I felt the seat cushion was a little too thin. I ended up selling it and am still on a quest for the next best chair. I'm currently using my old Ikea one. It's still great like 15 years later...
@@TheSAHDLife haha awesome man, i bought a vertagear "gaming" chair maybe 4 years ago, mm, immediately i didnt like it but i was pretty much stuck with it due to ordering it online. it kind of fell apart way faster than i was expecting aswell, the most annoying thing is the spring for the back adjust snapped, i really need a new chair, once you find the perfect one def make a video for it if you feel up to it! i am still looking myself lol
i was thinking herman miller but it might be out of current budget, might be a good option down the line edit: looking at them tho, i dont really like how the arms are not adjustable, so the search continues 🫡 def was thinking of just getting that iconic ikea chair everyone reccomends by default
@@SereneRalts it's hard to beat the price or durability of the Ikea one... have you considered a Secret Labs? I sat in one once and it was fantastic. I don't know if I would order it blindly though. Part of me would rather go the Ergnomic route buuut I'm sure the gaming chairs would be dam comfy!
@@TheSAHDLife i have! they look really nice, my current one is a gaming chair, my only gripe is the racing ridges on the side that hold your shoulders in place can kind of get in the way and feel cramped in certian positions
This mouse is missing one feature: A wire. That's why I'll keep using the G502 X. It's a similar shape but it has that cable.
I just built a new computer and... well luckily I had an old mouse with a cable kicking around, because you're right... I wouldn't have been able to set up easily without it! Buuut I still love this mouse and am using it right now!
Xbox is better than PlayStation no doubt about it
I still think so too but it's hard to deny some of the PlayStation only titles. They have some SICK games over der.

Is chronic gastritis permanent? I got it from an antidepressant Prozac completely messed my stomach up. It’s been 7 months since I’ve been battling this. Felt good thought I was almost healed then took supplements and set me back again so depressed help me
Hey I'm sorry to hear about that. To be honest, I don't know. It's beyond my scope. Have you worked with your doctor on this? What is your diet like? Do you eat healthy? Get exercise? Are you doing anything for your mental health at all? I know they seem like silly basic questions but they are really important. You gotta take care of yourself and your mind!
100 days today! I started because I have lived with anxiety for years, even losing partners duee to stress and anxiety. So I had to start trying somewhere. So it’s been 100 days off alcohol, which was kinda easy. 54 days off caffeine which was really hard. I am more concious about my day. I can manage my emotions better. I sleep so much better. And I am doing sports like never before! The next massive challenge for me would be chocolate! Oh god… i ate chocolate everyday. But hey, my anxiety is at much lower levels and I am happy about that.
Wow man that's really awesome to hear. Thanks for sharing 👊 Crazy to hear that caffeine was harder for you. Did you have any challenges with alcohol at all or was it just, once you made that decision it was easy to stick with? And what's the future going to be like for you and alcohol, do you even know at this point?
@@TheSAHDLife Coffee is what helped me keep up with my workaholism. Alcohol would help me take off the edge on the weekends, and would help me flirt with women. When I decided I would take time off from work, do hikes on weekends and stopped dating women to focus on myself, my relationship with alcohol and coffee changed massively. Abstinence became easier when I found the reasons why I was using them. I like my calmer mind now. I am still a f*%^ing mess. Super lost in life. Burntout. But at least I have clear questions I need to answer. And a clear mind to go find answers. I am thinking to try a full year like this. Specially now that I decided I will go stay at my home country for some 3 months and use that as a sort of sabbatical.
Great video!
Thanks 👊 I really appreciate the comment! Still going without it feeling good!
Hello, I was told I have GERD and was given PPIs and other medication, hasn’t helped much. Didn’t burp much with the burp test. But I’m curious, I gag a lot and have a loss of appetite, do we think that’s due to anxiety? because I do feel something in my throat almost 24/7, it doesn’t burn, it just feels like something is in there and sometimes it is very uncomfortable and I feel as if food is getting stuck or I will just gag unless I chew till a mush. Do all these symptoms still sound like LPR?
Yeah I think you have the combo-wombo my friend. Just like I did. It's a complicated brain-gut connection that is going to require some work on both sides. You will need to adjust your diet & lifestyle to get the acid in your stomach back to normal, and you're going to need to work with your mind to not churn your stomach... because it's CRAZY how much worrying can effect us. I mean heck, when we're nervous we feel it instantly in our stomachs right? If you have an active mind you can pretty much feel that ALL the time. Then it becomes hard to figure out if it's the brain OR the stomach... probably where you are at. Let me ask, did you do the burp test while on PPI's? Unfortunately that test won't be accurate. Your symptoms really sound like LPR/Gerd though so I think taking a similar route to what I did (ween off the PPI's and add acid, betaine) will probably fix you right back up. Make sure you think more about it though... perhaps watch my older videos on the subject and see if you relate to those too before you decide what to do.
@@TheSAHDLifethank you so much for the response, I keep seeing (not from doctors) people that claim to have recovered by reducing stress alone and I do have anxiety which I thought I had under control but subconsciously we don’t want to die so I’m on a constant high alert state for my symptoms from wake to sleep. I know we should all probably eat slower and better foods but I have a problem with food in general right now where my appetite is very on and off (probably stress and anxiety). I have been taking PPIs for about 5 days now. no noticable changes, reducing stress helps more to be honest. I will ween off of the PPIs when I hit a week and when theyre out of my system I will try the burp test again.
So pickle juice should work also.
You know, I'm not sure about it as I haven't tested, but I've heard pickle juice is good for other things too (hangovers!). I still use the salt but my other secret weapon right now is coconut water. The potassium from that with the salt, my legs DON'T move anymore. Works every single time.
Smart, witty and clear review, as always. Cool 🇬🇧👋👋🇨🇦
Aw thanks for the comment! Really appreciate it 👊
I’ve thought about something to extend the WI-FI in my house, which isn’t even that large but I do have so many connected things, from several phones, tablets, TVs, consoles, the washer and drier and even light bulbs! I’m currently using an Eero WIFI router supplied by my ISP which is mesh capable. I do like the app control that it has. Previously I had used a gaming Netgear Nighthawk router which was pretty good for a while but started to have some issues. I appreciate you showing this off because I think this may be something I look into in the future.
Haha I had the Nighthawk router too! It was alright... never as good as I hoped it would be? Maybe I just didn't know enough about networking. Yeah once you get the mesh going it's just awesome. I have 40 devices on it and it rips everything. I wish I did it sooner. It could be the kind of thing maybe wait for Black Friday sales on? Wait for that killer deal!
@@TheSAHDLife I agree! I heard so much how great it was, it at least handled the higher speeds that my ISP offered, but I had hoped that it would be better. There is custom firmware that one could use to make it better, but why not out of the box? Then it started to give issues and wouldn’t play nice with everything. I decided not to mess with it anymore and just use the fancy one that my ISP gave me lol.
Here's the one I got: TP Link Deco Xe75 Pro - amzn.to/3VxC4Wq Here's a beefier option: Netgear Orbi - amzn.to/3VKXsJh The above ARE affiliate links but don't feel pressure to use them.

Thanks for watching, and happy surfing!
Thanks man
No problem, glad you found the video!
Does thus means that if I burp without drinking baking soda, I must have high stomach acid?
No I wouldn't say that. Stomachs are weird and sensitive to different foods etc... I would try the test on an early stomach and see what happens. You might have high acid... it'll give you a better indication.
@@TheSAHDLife ok. Thank you
They’re not that durable, they scratch very easily on concrete and the lenses are easily broken due to the fact that they are glass and not composite
I've had mine since 2011 and only replaced the lenses about a year and a half ago! I do take good care of my sunnies though so I'm sure if you don't put 'em in a case after you use them the risk of damage is greater. They aren't the best sunglasses of all time but they are still my main pair. I rock a couple other pairs of Maui Jim's too though which I love. I like those lenses better but the styling of the Ray-Bans never gets old (imo).
Anybody have issues with u box weight? Is it easy to overload due to their wimpy forklift?
To be honest I was surprised that they were able to get all the boxes up. I had one that was loaded with lots of heavy furniture and books, and when I realized how much was in it, I had this fear they would make me open it up and take out some weight. Luckily I didn't have to. I think if you are concerned with weight, it's still such an affordable service it might be worth adding that extra u-Box to spread it out. You'll still come away with spending a lot less than the competition. Good luck with your move!
Hi, thanks for your great informative video. I finished my Ortho treatment and agree with you that doctors don’t tell you the cons. I wasn’t told that treatment can change my face after Ortho elastics, my face dropped, I think is from that. Also wasn’t told about retainers for the rest of my life, I think all those important things should be presented to us so we can make decision if we still want to go ahead. With regards to pain after whitening, had pain after Opalescence but not after Philips zoom 16%, I just put gel to home retainers for the night.
Thanks! That's interesting about your face... does it look quite a lot different? When you say "dropped" I guess I'm not sure if that means worse or just different :) How is your smile otherwise?! Are you happy with the results?
@@TheSAHDLife well it looks different to me, even thought I hadn’t done any extractions. I see lines next to my mouth and my bite doesn’t feel natural. I feel like teeth are not well fitting my bottom teeth, my bite I mean. Yes my face changed for worse, I had not perfect teeth but nice smile. Now I have straight teeth but not nice smile. I noticed this after ortho elastics, the lines next to my mouth. And no one even complemented my teeth. I have all my teeth with wide smile but as I said my face outside has changed.
@@Sunshine55550 Aw that's a bit frustrating. Hopefully with some time it will work itself out. And I'm sure you have already but let your ortho know how you feel. Maybe they can suggest some ideas for you.
@@TheSAHDLifeOh, I wish it will work out, but I doubt it. I still need to do whitening and do bonding on my top front teeth so maybe it will look better. But I doubt but face stop sagging. Oh no, I didn’t say anything to my Ortho, he is a man and quite defensive so he wouldn’t be happy if I say something and I don’t want to argue with him as it seems I need to go back to him for check up. The good thing is my Ortho is against extraction, but me dentist is pro so she is thinking he should done extraction. On the other side my hygienist liked it that I have wide smile with my front teeth going more outside without extractions done, as she said I would have gaps on the sides of my teeth with smaller arch. No doctor told me this before.
I started taking kratom and the urge of alcohol went away I don't drink anymore and I was a daily drinker all my life I'm 65 years old and I used to drink over a fifth a day of vodka I needed it first thing in the morning to make it to work and I would drink all day long and all night it was causing major health issues squirting my pants with diarrhea daily now I'm doing better but Social Security is not enough to keep a roof over my head and have a good diet
I've probably had five drinks in the last 2 years since I've been taking kratom I just don't have an urge for alcohol I don't like how it makes me feel and it causes too much anxiety
Wow really? I am not familiar with Kratom. Do you just order it online or?
Nicely done. I keep going back and, it's not causing me joy I'll tell you that. Is your anxiety better now? Have you worked on that at all besides quitting drinking?
Yes my anxiety is improving a lot of people order Kratom online I just get it at the smoke shop in town it's addicting like opiates so don't take too much I'm out of Kratom right now and I'm going through withdrawals it's not pleasant waiting for my social security check so I can get more but I still don't have the urge to drink to me that's a miracle in itself
Gaviscon advance works well for me. I got to try this though
Thanks for the review! I’m considering them for an international move to Europe and struggling to find reviews for that. But yours still had great info for me too!
Wow what an exciting adventure for you to go through... amazing! Yeah I wish I could help you there but do not have experience with it. I would use the service again if that helps at all! But if you need wicked precision with time and delivery... you might want to check out some competition to be safe. If not though, get the Uboxes and save your money.
Hello, I work for u-haul as a ubox driver. I love hearing customers experiences cause it can help me try to make this moving process less stressful on my end. U-haul does have a lot of moving parts. Pickups on our end are controlled by route times and first come first serve. Also, if you dont answer the phone to confirm pickup or call back we will keep pushing it out. Also other factors to. I had to cancel a pickup cause a major road shutdown cause of a fire. (I work in CA, lol) Our shipping is 3rd party (not employees of uhaul), and that's how we can provide the cheapest rates. If the boxes arrive later than the expected arrival date, there is a daily reimbursement till it arrives. As for the wood boxes, while they my look rough, they are the best for moving. They are breathable and move with the road. Less likely your stuff will be damaged. I also do repairs on the boxes and by far the easiest to work on. Our newer boxes are also great and look 10 times better but are a little more stiff. I always say our wood boxes are good for shipping. Newer plastic/metal boxes are good for storage. Uboxs are also good for temporary storage at your house if you have a project, long term storage at house or on site at uhaul. I have a u-box at my house i pay monthly like a storage unit. Also, load on site is free and self delivery is free (if you have a vehicle capable of towing it) just pay for the amount of boxes used. This can also help cut cost if a delivery fee to your house is pricey. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the comment! It's great that the company has people like you working for it... I experienced (on the delivered side) this type of customer service and it was just what I needed when it I was stressed out with moving. Unfortunately on the pick up side, the service was not as good which was very stressful. I think like anything in life, like going to a restaurant, the experience often revolves around the server and their attitude... with U-Haul being so big, sometimes certain employees will be more helpful than others. It's just a bummer when you get unhelpful employees when you're going through something stressful like moving. Keep up the great attitude! I'm sure your customers REALLY appreciate it.
@@TheSAHDLife yes I do agree with you on that.
This was helpful; thanks! Could you give me your thoughts on the timeliness of U-Box delivery, in general, barring highway disasters? LOL. We will only have one week at the destination home to take delivery and unpack - so a relatively tight window of time. Can we be reasonably certain that delivery will happen on the selected day, or should we rent a truck and drive it ourselves, just to be safe (don't really want to do that)? Do you have any suggestions on the best day of the week to schedule delivery? Again, THANK YOU!
