Acid Reflux
I have been having some trouble with extremely dry throat and nasal passages. My ear/nose/throat doctor said I have acid reflux. I don't have any pain or burning or even a taste in my mouth. I didn't think we had enough acid in our stomachs to have this issue. I am seven years out. He said only about a third of all patients has any burning, etc. Has anyone else had acid reflux? Oh yes, I had a lap roux and y. Thanks for you input.
I do get burning if I have something too close to bedtime..it tends to ride up into my throat and burn really bad up into my mouth AND nose...If that's any help.
I just don't eat less than an hour before I lay down for bed. Seems to be working for me so far.

Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!

Thanks Dawn for the reply. My sister has a disease called Sjogrens, and the main symptons are dry mouth, nose and throat. I am waiting for blood tests to come back on this issue; however, I have come down with a terrible sinus infection. I believe this was what was coming for weeks, as I have woke every morning with a cotton filled head! I rarely go to bed with any food in my stomach, as it tends to want to come up (vomit) if I eat and lay. So, I learned early on to go to bed with very little or nothing in my stomach. I think the doctor called it wrong.
Hi.
I had my lap band surgury in 04 and I begain having the dry throat symton about 4 years ago and no one -- not doctors or nutricians could help. My throat would get sooooo dry and neither water or any othrr type of liquid would quench it,. I would often eat ice cream to sooth it even though i was not hungry.
Then one day out of nowhere i took an antiacid (like tums or rolaids) an that resolves it. i had tried all the other stronger anti acid drugs, but nothing worked for me against the dryness like tums. i still take them regularly. they have not cured my night time acid reflux, however.
