This seems to be my main symptom (aside from the the lump in my throat, but even then they kind of go hand in hand). Anyways, I don't really have heartburn or anything like that, just the really...
I will give it a try, thanks....
Thanks for the response. I took some and am starting to feel much better. Still a little tightness in my throat but it's slowly going away. Thanks!...
I can do decaf tea, ginger ale, and water....that's about it. Love diet coke but it doesn't agree with me anymore!...
Ate a dinner that did not agree with me....I know better. But now I feel like it's coming back up my throat. Took 3 tums about an hour ago....didn't help. Is it ok to take some Maalox now? I usually...
I'm off the dexilant because it made me nauseous beyond belief. My ENT said I could switch over to omeprazole, and I have. He said it's not as strong as the dexilant, so I might be better off taking...
I'd love the name of the enzyme too!...
Ok exciting good or bad! I want to know, what kinds of tests do they do?...
Tums seems to do better for me than the Maalox. Maybe it just varies from person to person......
My ENT finally referred me to a GI dr and so I have an appt soon. Still having major problems with acid reflux (that was the ENT's best guess due to the red streaks on my vocal chords). So I'm...
Thanks for these tips!! I'm going to start them right away!...
Thanks for the response. So the throat tightness doesn't sound like GERD? I will bring it up with my ENT tomorrow. It just feels like my throat is tightened all the time, like some sort of pressure....
Well it's been almost 4 weeks since my GERD first came on suddenly and I'm still not feeling well at all. I have lost a lot of weight because mostly the slightest thought of food just makes me...
Thanks. I have a call into them to find out for sure. Thanks to everyone for all the replies and for the warm welcome. For me, some days are much better than others. Since it's all so new, it's very...
Where do you look it up? I just thought of something else. I have an epi pen for allergies. should I have an attack, can I use the epi pen while on dexilant? anyone know?? I will call my dr tomorrow...
I've been on dexilant for a week...not much improvement. I take it in the morning....1 hr before eating....
Thanks everyone for the replies...good to know I'm not alone. I have another question....can I take any sort of pain reliever with dexilant (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc?) Thanks!...
thank you both for the replies...! Tired yes, but that's a recent thing I think from not sleeping so well lately. I don't snore and I'm not normally overly tired. Some days I am really tired...
One more question I forgot to include - I've been experiencing really dry mouth since this all started. It happens suddenly, and get soo dry. Anyone else experience this?...
I was just diagnosed with GERD and have a few questions, hopefully some one here will have some thoughts/answers. My symptoms came on suddenly. One night I woke up choking basically...it took me a...
