Hello Folks:
I've been "lurking" around this forum for a few weeks and I have to say there are MANY MANY knowledgeable people here!
I have been on 20 mg Omeprazole for 10 years with no problems until last January. I started getting a sore throat and got an appt with an ENT. He said my "voicebox" was red and irritated - told me to get on the GERD diet (no coffee, wine, etc.) Well, I have to say - I was bad at this... I continued to drink my coffee (only one cup in the morning -I love my coffee!!) And a couple of glass of wine in the evening... Well, bad bad idea... My throat is pretty sore and I have my 6 mos. checkup this coming Monday. I have a feeling the doctor is not going to be happy with me - however I HAVE given up the coffee/wine in the last three weeks (I hope that counts for something...) I am also worried about a spot I have on the back of my throat - it's worrying me quite a bit and am hoping for good news on that... I was diagnosed with a small hiatal hernia back in 2011...
I just wanted to write to tell you all how much I appreciate all the knowledge I have been getting from all of you!! Thank you so much!!!
