It's expensive, so I haven't tried it yet. I heard about this on that website about LPR. I nearly purchased some after watching Djokovic -- the number one machine type player-- win another tennis match and hearing about his special diet.

Here's an excerpt.

The first thing I do out of bed is to drink a tall glass of room-temperature water, Djokovic writes in Serve to Win, which is scheduled for release by Zinc Ink, an imprint of Random House, on Aug. 20. The second thing I do might really surprise you: I eat two spoonfuls of honey. Every day. He says he also eats it during matches.

It it's on the LPR group then it must be good for acid reflux. That's interesting about the tennis player. I know regular honey is good for people in a lot of ways--I think Manuka honey just has extra anti-bacterial than regular honey, which is why it was used as a topical wound healer. The logic is if it heals topical wounds then it will heal internal wounds as well. I do feel the gastritis inflammation has gone down today and my hunger pains are starting to come back, but not sure if that is from the Manuka honey or just because I haven't been pigging out on junk this week:) I wish it wasn't so expensive, because I'd like to get another brand and see if it tastes as awful as this one.

That's a great explanation! I will have to try it. Maybe I'll get up in the morning and drink a glass of water and follow it up with the manuka!

Can't hurt. Maybe it will heal whatever damage is done.

I use regular pure honey and always seems to soothe my stomach. I use it in chai tea (which contains ginger too) or I use it on toast.

I find manuka honey effective, but it's also worth looking at the bigger picture too. I find eating the wrong foods are my biggest trigger, those and stress.
