I hope you will all be as persistent about following up with your Doc’s on any continuing reflux problems as MikeV.
I had reflux for years and then had pain. Thinking I had an ulcer I went to the Doc. AFter 6 months of different meds they did an endoscopy and found I had esophageal cancer. That was 17 years ago next month.
I had most of my esophagus removed. The odds were ugly on survival and I was extremely lucky.
Treatment is much better today and life expectancy has improved but the cure is a MF’er.
If you have continuing acid reflux issues check it out with your Doc. The earlier part of the thread is chock full of tips on how to reduce reflux, they work.
Good luck to one and all!
