Is this GERD

I have had burping issues for about a year. Now the last 2 months I have had some slight discomfort swallowing
(my spit) but NOT food. Also I clear my throat a lot in the mornings and recently have a lot of saliva. I am presently taking antibiotics for the throat.
I Play sports 6 days a week including 3 mile jogs 2 times a week.
Do you guys think this may be acid-reflex? I am always worried of the worst.


I would appreciate any feedback, thank you

Hi Jack,

Based on my experience, (not a doctor). I had bad reaction on antibiotics. I been rushed to ER few years back as i did not know what caused that heartburn and difficulty breathing. During those times not knowing what might have caused it, I immediately panicked. Then BP goes up. Having antibiotic (not to all), may destroy your gut flora and cause digestive sensitivities. So it is always advisable to take antibiotic with a probiotic. Most doctors will tell you but a lot still don't.

With my experience, I healed naturally with probiotics and aloe vera (inner leaf) organic. I also took Zinc and Licorice . Once the gut flora is damage it will take months for it to recover. We are all different so I am just sharing my experience. I may suggest also to check if your stomach acidity, you may not have enough acid to digest your food. You need to ask your doctor if symptoms worsen.

All the best.
