I am amazed how fast your hubby recovered. I have had reflux for 12 years now. I have tried ACV with honey, cayenne and Sea Salt . It has not helped me. I must say I was not taking it religiously. I do not know what is soda bicarbonate. Could you please let me know and brand name you used so I can try this. I have been doing jumping with water in my stomach. It is very slow process.
