Q: I'm a singer. How can I get over this as quickly as possible?

Hi,

I'm also a singer and I'm a voice major at a University. I just can't afford to take a hiatus from my instrument and have to sing every single day. I'm pretty sure I have silent acid reflux, as I wake up in the morning with that raw-ish, sore feeling in my throat and can't sing for a few hours. I also get sick fairly often with sinus infections.

Are these typical symptoms of acid reflux?

I'm seeing my doctor as soon as I get home for Thanksgiving break this year, and he will hopefully refer me to the ENT here in Chicago.

Thanks!

Hi singsing,

I know it's been awhile since your post, but wanted to get you this information.

Get the book "Natural Alternatives to Nexium, Maalox, Tagament, Prilosec, and other Acid Blockers" by Martie Whittekin, CCN -- Amazon, Bamm, Barnes and Nobles, etc.

She recommends the probiotic Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics 12 Plus. It cured my acid reflux. I took Prevacid and Prilosec for over eight years. I am no longer taking these drugs and can not remember when I have felt this good. I am 55 years old.

Martie also has a internet radio show, www.RadioMartie.com, so check her out. If you like what you hear and the remedy works for you, spread the word. There are so many people who need this information. Look at the archives for popular shows.

I hope this helps.

Debra
