Hello everyone

I have been experiencing some stomach issues recently. They mainly include: burping alot, bloating, lump and tightness in throat which i believe is caused by phlegm, difficulty breathing, dizziness, burning throat, and burning in stomach. I have to constantly clear my throat. Now I have had an endoscopy which came back clear as well as ultrasounds and blood work done. All came back negative. So I remain undiagnosed and am wondering if this is LPR or is it combination of LPR and gerd. I have tried PPIs, antacids, and alot of other things including diet change, but nothing has helped so far. So if you guys can advice me on any diagnostic tests and remedies for this issue that would be great. I have heard baclofen and elavil work well. If anyone has found any help with these medications or any other drugs please do let me know. Does gaviscon advance help with this problem? Does any surgery help with this issue? So, if you guys can pitch in and share any information that might be of help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

My suggestion would be to talk to you doctor and ask him what you should be doing differently, including any other types of medication/testing he may suggest. Keep a food diary to try and pinpoint your trigger foods. You need to be very diligent about your diet including no spicy foods, carbonated beverages, citrus, chocolate caffeine, etc. I would also try and take an anti-gas medication containing simethicone for the bloating and belching, and not to drink using a straw. Try and refrain from using Dr. Google for suggestions and remedies, and keep in mind that relief doesn't necessarily happen as quickly as we would like.

I am aware of the endoscopy but it sounds like all stones must be turned. Have your doctor test for h pylori but you must be off ppis. It’s called a Urea Breath test.

Generally, your doctor checks for h Pylori when you have an endoscopy making the breath test unnecessary.

If you say you are dealing with stomach issues-this could also be SIBO. You can get tested for that.
