Back to work? You must be feeling better - and confident!

Don’t rush it though! Can you take a few more weeks off?

Wow I've seen so many similar symptoms with so many here but this is one issue I've never mentioned or seen mentioned before now. I have had swallowing issues for the last few years. Saw an ENT and concern was dismissed, instead told I needed sinus surgery....really? I come in with swallowing issues and Dr suggests sinus surgery, I never went back. So tired of dismissive, arrogant Drs.

Anyway just wanted to say thanks for those who replied to this thread. It will take me some time to review the posts. I have just been living with the issue. I know it is nor normal.

Hoagie,

I just saw on your BVT thread you mentioned suspecting acid reflux and are going to see a specialist. That comment jogged my memory.

When I get really bad bart flares, I often get bouts of reflux and have a hard time swallowing my supplements, especially the fish oil capsules, which are huge.

A few years ago, I had really bad silent reflux symptoms and was sent to a gastro and had the work up. EGD with bravo revealed no acid and no issues with the LES, etc. Colonoscopy was clear as a bell, too, in spite of sudden onset of IBS with recalcitrant constipation.

The specialist may find something or may not, as happens with a lot of the dysfunction these infections cause.

Yeah, I would feel a light heartburn after taking my supplements before bed. The more I researched swallowing issues, the more I ran into acid reflux/GERD. This is what I'm thinking is the culprit. Until I see the specialist, I have ceased taking my supplements before bed and just started taking a prescription antacid. We'll see.

Thank you WBF.

I’m rereading Cure Unknown and the author commented that when she ordered the antibiotic roxithromycin from Europe it resolved her swallowing/choking issues. That was the only symptom it relieved for her, but that’s a big one. Might be worth checking out?
