Hi

my dr put my on gaviscon advance to help with the problem. He thinks it's due to the acid reflux being aspirated back up through the throat.

good luck

The causes vary, the treatments vary, most GP'S Prescribe a 3 month course of PPI's...if you haven't been evaluated by an ENT....then do so. New strategies surface from time to time, and an ENT would most likely be "up to speed".. Ann

Are u having any heartburn or acid reflux.

Sometimes GERD which is gastro esophageal reflux and too much acid can

make u feel like u have a lump in your throat when u swallow also u mite

have a constriction in your esophagus so u will feel like u have a lump. However u usually have symptoms like reflux heartburn if it is GI related. U need to have an EGD(endoscopy) to take a look in your mouth esophagus. Or u can have a upper GI X-ray. I can only recommend taking a Prilosec or Pepcid ask your dr to refer u to a specialist a gi dr or ears nose and throat dr(ENT) Hope u feel better

u must try to stay occupied.the more u do stuff the less your mind would stress..try taking part in a lot of fun activities.. it helps to easy your mind off stress

You cant do much harm taking two DGL tabs 20 minutes before meals for say a month to give it a chance to kick in. It helped me a lot.

Hi fung999,

So sorry to hear about your globus. I know exactly how it feels as I started suffering this about 8 years ago but mine was caused by bad dental treatment resulting in thrush in my mouth and throat. I lost 2 stone in as many months as I was afraid to eat/drink and had to take all medication in liquid form. I had loads of investigations but they showed nothing wrong. In the end it improved on its own. I still get slight choking feeling when eating certain things- lettuce, spaghetti - and I've developed what they call an echo swallow. It's where you swallow and immediately half swallow afterwards. Stress is certainly a factor so my advice would be to take some kind of relaxation like yoga maybe. If you've had investigations done and there's nothing there the only thing to try and do is relax. If you can get the hang of the echo swallow it really helps

Good luck and keep your chin up - it does get better!

wow you had to suffer for so long with both a lousy dentist and then a lousy medical staff?? my 15 year old can diagnose oral thrush in a heartbeat or two. A lousy dentist can infect like no other...choose a dentist wisely.

Oral thrush  can migrate to other areas if one is on a ppi, not likely otherwise but possible.

A routine intake of a kefir or yogurt, kimchi etc...can supress thrush, otherwise its drugs like flagyl etc.

My 15 year old suggests a daily oral probiotic in the salivarius family for a month...a lozenge not a tablet or capsule..once the offending insult has been erradicated.

Antibiotics like Flagyl cause thrush. Taking a PPI will not spread thrush.

Thrush is a fungal infection u need a medication called Nystatin swish and swallow it is an anti-fungal. If u have a whitish coating on your tongue and pussy patches on the back of your throat it is thrush probably coming from the esophagus. If u have thrush

u need to see the dr. Yogurt won't get

rid if it completely and if left untreated u could be a risk for esophageal cancer the reflux or acid scars the lining of the esophagus it can

construct the esophagus then u develop swallowing problems. If acid

is re fluxing then it scars the esophageal lining then u develop secondary problems. Nystatin is a liquid u swish it around I. your mouth

and swallow it. It gets rid of thrush.

too many antibiotics or steroids usually can cause a fungal infection.

Thanks

I read the post from Ann the Irishlass.

Thrush is a fungal infection it needs an anti fungal . Flagyl won't help it is an antibiotic. Antibiotics get rid of bacterial infections.In fact taking too many antibiotics or oral steroids cause fungus like thrush. Once u have thrush yogurt probiotics will

not get rid of it u need to see your dr immediately and get a anti fungal like

nystatin swish and swallow. PPI do not spread fungus I do not understand where people get their info. But if u see a white coating in your tongue white patches on the back of your throat u have thrush get to your dr immediately because it can effect your swallowing it gets worse with to much acid it can scar the lining if your esophagus constrict the opening or increase chance of esophageal cancer. I have worked in this field for 20 something years as a nurse (GI) thanks

you are correct re antibiotics that cause yeasts to dominate over good bacteria..and nystatin and micostains would be the drugs of choice not Flagyl but zoles are anti fungal and are considered pre nystatin as about a 10% greater efficacy. The biology data base suggests the zoles  such as flucanazole, then nystatin.

From primary medical data base:" Fluconazole is used to treat serious fungal or yeast infections , such as vaginal candidiasis, oropharyngeal candidiasis (thrush, oral thrush), esophageal candidiasis (candida esophagitis), other candida infections (including urinary tract infections, peritonitis [inflammation of the lining of abdomen or stomach], and infections that may occur in different parts of the body), or fungal (cryptococcal) meningitis. This medicine works by killing the fungus or yeast, or preventing its growth."

We have always preferred  nystatin for oral and vaginal thrush, plus yogurts when tollerated...not as a stand alone treatment although some have found excellent results...we consider nystain a preferable treatment over zoles (but the medical community differs) mostly due to its long standing use without the zole problems.

While I stated oral yeast infections might migrate with the use of PPI's, "difficult" but "possible"...do you have any primary abstracts to demonstrate otherwise?  thanks, Ann   

14

Ann If ur going to claim PPI's cause yeast to migrate it is up to you to prove that is the case. One of the side effects of Flagyl is a possible fungal infection. You keep mentioning fluconazole that is DiFlucan not Flagyl.

15

Diflucan is anti-fungal. Flagyl is a antibacterial thus it is an antibiotic.

16

What is Flagyl

Flagyl (metronidazole) is an antibiotic. It fights bacteria in your body.

Flagyl is used to treat bacterial infections of the vagina, stomach, skin, joints, and respiratory tract. This medication will not treat a vaginal yeast infection.
