Hello, is it possible for Miss Diagnosis on the Upper GI test for Gerd? Because i have difficulty swallowing, someone's feels like food is sitting in my pit of my stomach, drinks and food constantly going down the wrong pipe and I chock, i get bad heartburn after eating many different foods, I regurgitate sometimes. I throw up, my stomach gets so bloaded and painful, if I eat one or two hours before bed.. it'll be a nightmare.. I'll wake up several times with severe bloating and pain, and I'll burp and burp and burp.. I get a burning sensation in my chest/throat, and this happens nearly every day for more than half the day off and on. I'm so tired of it. Today, i had the upper gi test, and they ruled out Gerd and said I have a little acid reflux.. and I'm sitting here thinking how can everything I go throw suffering day after day just be (a little) acid reflux. I know my body, and I highly doubt it's just a little acid reflux. Tums worked at first, and then it stopped working, and I stopped taking them because if you take too many its bad. What are your ideas and thoughts? Thank you. Pls respond..

[@marleanamarlianamont5939]

I'm glad they ruled it all out, but I fear I may have something there that they might have missed. I truly hope not. But if I have to guess, I would say I have severe acid reflux.

Can apple cider vinegar help in the treatment of gerd

[@DavidMake-dl7bn]

I wonder why so many people are still complaining of acid reflux, well most people haven't be lucky enough to meet with a helper Dr imenherbal. I was very lucky to meet with Dr imenherbal on KZbin channel who cure my acid reflux. 😊

I have not seen scientific evidence that red light therapy can cure GERD.
