4 out of the last 5 years I have had acid reflux/heartburn like symptums, starting in Noveraber and going away in late February, early March. I have never had even a mild case at any other time period. During these 4 month perioRAB I have the symptums 24/7. I have taken all the typical GI tests and everything comes up normal. I have taken just about every form of over the counter and prespcription pill and none has provided even a brief relief of the symptums. I went to an Alergist think it may be caused by an alergy with no avail. I even tried anti-anxiety pills thinking maybe it was stress related - even though I didn't feel more than normal stress during these time perioRAB. My doctors don't know what to do next. Again, only occurs for the same 4 months out of the year. The good news is that so far it has always gone away. The bad news is I live with heartburn/acid reflux for 4 months with no relief. Any suggestions?
 
hmmm, thats interesting, i think acid reflux is amazing in how complicated it is from person to person, hope someone has insight for you.
 
I would try going to see a specialist at a University Hospital/Clinic where they do research. They would probably be very interested in your case and hopefully could solve it. by the way, do you live in another location during those 4 months that you have this?
 
Nope, I live in the same area year round. People want to know what my symptoms are and I tell them it's like having heartburn/acid reflux every minute of every day for 4 months. There is some fluxuation in how bad it is but it's pretty constant.
 
After MANY steps to treat my reflux, I experienced the same thing.
Have a CT scan of your sinuses. My infected sinuses were symptom
free from May-Nov. and the reflux was under control 100%. Allergies
from Nov. till early summer caused major reflux issues. I'm waging
war on them as we speak.
