That's just it, I don't have any reflux 'symptoms' or triggers. Apparently it happens at night. I've elevated my bed. I saw a doc because I've had the feeling of a pill being caught in my throat for...
Atkins? Zeri...
My GI dilated my esophagus while he was in there also. I don't think I mentioned that before. I can't tell a difference now vs before, but I wasn't having choking issues before either. Zeri...
If the scope is to determine if you have reflux... well, like you say, they're already treating you for that. With the scope they can see if you have any damage to the esophagus or ulcers in your...
My endoscopy was covered by IC w/a $50 copay. It wasn't a difficult procedure... I was 'out' maybe 10 minutes. No nausea, no pain. But 2,500 bucks... ouch! It's a good procedure for having a...

I just came in from my GI appointment. He said he was "sure" H Pylori didn't have anything to do with the problem w/my throat. I'm having a swallowing xray next week... I forget what the 'real' name...
