I think I might be up to something.... before nexium I had silent reflux without the classical symptoms, more of the LPR type (throat, phlegms, lungs). Then, with a low fat diet symptoms cleared but lost too much weight. Began nexium in order to increase meal intake but with nexium symptoms gastrointestinal symptoms are no longer silent (excessive belching, etc.) plus it's not doint anything to stop LPR symptoms either.
If I drink half a cup (4oz) of water mixed with 1 teaspoon light apple juice and 1/20th of a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar then no belching, no globus, lumpy throat and no phlegms. This is making me think HCI deficiency and/or an acid imbalance.... are there any GI tests to diagnose low/deficient HCI production?
