Acid reflux so they say

Digestive health
1

Just a quick  one  bin back to docs they say it's all good which is great, but still feel the same  phlem stuck on the right side of mt throat,  

the other day had to go the hospital as I was coughing up blood get there told me there is no ent on call will have to go the gap and make an appointment, good job it wasn't going tho bleed to death, 

but they say it's still reflux, does that sound right  

2

I don't think it is normal to cough up blood would go back to see doctor

3

Hi have bin keep fobbing me off  telling me it's acid reflux  so am going private to see ent on Friday

I am experiencing the same thing except no blood. My acid reflux RX had to be increased to taking 2x a day.

I also changed my diet to complete acid free food items and I take apple cider vinegar with water. ( read about this on Google), it is great for acid reflux and many other things in our bodies.

I pretty much had to figure out what was causing these problems on my own, due to doctors lack of concern and knowledge. It has been a very slow process in helping me, but I am on the right path now.

I have that horrible phlegm in my throat also. Maybe u have an ulcer. I would go to the gastroenterologist. Have u done an endoscopy

Hi yeah said it was all clear, but am no so sure

Hi jane,

 am taking all kinds of tablets not to any good, I get chest pain throat pain and a pain just below my rib  cage.  Dizzy sick, but they still say am ok, I have had 18 months of hell

I hate the phlegm it drives me mad too! Herbal teas seem to help break it down, luquorice or pukka night time are really good. I always chew fruit gum too which helps x I'm sure anxiety makes it worse though x also using a decongestant which helps too. Avoid fatty food and ant ly fruit juices or acidic food and drink. Melon is ok as is banana x x but try not to worry if you've been checked out. I'm waiting for ENT appt for throat scope xx

Thanks

it drive me insane hade the scope about 8 weeks ago all to nothing make me think am I imagining it

10

No you're not but anxiety makes our bodies hyper sensitive so we are much more aware of mial things happening x try and avoid dairy and any fatty food and coffee or alcohol and drink lots of water x eat fish, chicken and lots of veg but avoid fruit apart from bananas and melon and take

11

And look into rhinitis as a nasal spray may help x I am considering mucinex to thin mucus x

12

Do any of you have mucus in your throat right after you eat. Happens to me as soon as I eat

13

Bin on nasil spray didn't really do to much

14

No not really  constantly have to cough and spit it out then it reappear 

15

Wow, mine only comes after eating

16

Before you try all these mucin ex, etc,

Read about the side effects. I used mucinex for months, did nothing. I read everything. It can actually make the mucus. I stopped everything.

Antihistamines are also bad for acid Reflux. Go acid free diet and apple cider vinegar

17

I use apple cider vinegar. The dr. Told me to take it first thing in the morning mixed with olive oil. He said in a warm glass of water or it won't work

Thanks will do
