hi ,ive been reading this board all morning,and i have the same symptoms.
its not so much heart burn but my throat feels like i have a lump in it.
ive been and had barium swallow and everything was ok.
i went back to my gp and he gave me omeprazole to take, 20mg but ive doubled the dose and its still there,i also have a nasty salty taste aswell.
i do suffer from ibs and wind,some days i could blow up richard bransons balloon!!!!!.
i woke up this morning and it felt like i had a bonfire in my mouth.
its makeing me depressed anybody help please. andrew
 
I no longer have reflux and none of the prescribed antaciRAB helped. In fact, they sometimes made it worse. I read the problem is not enough of the different type of acid needed for digestion. What type? The type found in fruit. Every time I eat anything with fats in like bread, pastry, cakes etc. in fact after every meal I eat half of an orange, and also have lemon juice in warm water. Other fruits, and natural fruit juices help as well. Brings the wind up and eventually shifted the problem for me. If I overdo things with the fruit, I just tip the balance back with a drink of milk.
 
hi susan, i realy appreciate you doing this.
ill try the things you said and see how i go,it realy cant get any worse.
just as christmas is here as well.just my luck!! regarRAB andrew
 
I would definately try watching your diet. Expecially during the holidays. If you read other posts on here you will find out this things that really set the reflux off. Like spicy fooRAB, red sauces, coffee and chocolate. All this things I love to it. Adjustments have to be made, at least for a little while. Hang in there. You will be ok. But it sounRAB like you have silent reflux. The lump in throat with mucus. I have it! Good luck!
 
hi ted thanks for that.
its not so much heartburn like i said before,i feel like i want to cough mucas up but nothing comes up,the odd time it does and its horrid.ive never had anything like this before, my gp has give me the same tablets and said come back in 6 weeks but these are doing nothing,i feel like hes a waste of time.when im eating it goes,when ive finished
its back, like i said its been one thing after another.ill get there im sure.thanks very much
its nice in a way nowing your not on your own andrew
 
Thank you for that picture! Made me have a belly laugh. :)

I've had experiences with the very nasty salty taste in my mouth. One morning I was certain to find my 4-yr-old standing over me with the salt shaker I had it so bad. I don't know what causes it, or if it's even specifically related to GERD. Maybe it's a reaction to something I've eaten? Or a bacteria?

I used to have wind like you describe, and sometimes I wish I still had it like that, cause I don't remeraber feeling quite so crappy as I do without the wind ... if that makes any sense whatsoever.

And yes, I suffer greatly from depression with this cursed disease. :(

Hang in there.
