Hey, this is just a quick one. I just ate some manuka honey (10+) to try and get rid of my reflux symptoms. It didn't exactly work, in fact it set my throat ablaze! Does honey make anyone else's throat burn? It's rather scary :(

Try it with hot water and mix with a cordial, it vial on it own.

Reflux is different for everyone OL, I've had great success with manuka for soothing my gastritis but then not everyone is the same.

For example ginger is recommended for stomach upset but I find it makes my tummy feel really bad.

Manuka would be good for soothing an upset stomach, dealing with h pylori, or soothing a throat/esophagus that's inflamed from acid coming up. I'm not sure how it would work to just solve reflux happening though.

I found that any kind of honey sets off indigestion with me. No idea why

Libra maybe because it's a natural sugar, so that might increase the acid in your stomach? It's funny how indigestion can be so different from one person to the next!
