Testing Scores

Can anyone give me suggestions on what to ask the "specialized specialist" I'm being sent to? I've been battling these problems for over 2 years now & am at my wits end. First the drs. thought the problem was my gall bladder - that was removed; then it was fundoplication for hiatal hernia. The latest was the Bravo ph test which shows my Deemster score at 126.5. I always feel like there is something stuck in my throat. I'm currently taking Dexilant twice a day & we tried adding Zantac but I had a severe reaction to that. Is there anything else that can be done?????

Don't know. Even has my GI doc stumped!

Wow, that is a high score.  I would suggest you find the best GI Doctor even if it means looking at Mayo or Cleveland Clinic to find out what is going on with you.

What to ask the Dr. - keep a journal of what you are eating for at least 14 days and when you are having problems, write it down in detail and take that with you to get another opinion.

To the best of my knowledge, the top Gastroenterology & GI Surgery Clinics and Hospitals in USA are:

Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN

Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH

Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, MD

This is just my opinion but I do encourage members to be their own best advocates.

Kindly,
