Acid reflux and feelngin throat

[bea10]

What are some ideas for acid reflux and that feeling you get in your throat.  I do not feel like eating becuase I am afraid.  I eat very little and had lost 25 lbs.  I take kapidex and take ginger tea but I can not take it.  I can not enjoy doing things with my family.  I get this anxiety that something is going to happen to me.  I need ideas on how people cope with it.

Hi...I just wanted to tell u that not eating can cause reflux symptoms to flare...so, do eat a few more meals a day just make them smaller.....and avoid foods that trigger ur reflux.

I hope this is helpful : )

PS- make sure u r not constipated as that can really keep ur reflux in a flare.

I know how you feel it seems lately no matter what I eat I have bad silent reflux issues, no chest pain or acid feeling but tight feeling in throat and feeling like I need to swallow alot. Also feels lumpy in my throat almost like a small burp is stuck there.
I have eaten the best diet for weeks now and nothing seems to help. Tried Omeprezole and helped for a week and then it didnt.
Tried digestive enzymes and they haelped for a bit but they to have stopped.
I have not eaten in hours but still the reflux is acting up.
So very frustrated and tired.

I included the link to the Health Pages where u may find some ideas that may help u....GI drs will suggest that u modify ur diet and lifestyle in order to allow the meds to work....

Do u know what the root cause of ur gerd is? Many have hiatal hernia's or PND....for example...knowing what the root is can help u get it under control.

Since u r having issues with ur throat it could very well be that ur LES has a motility issue and avoiding dairy latter in the day can help u at night in addition to elevating the head of ur bed.
