Regis Philbin: Medical problem sends him for tests

[Guest guest]

This is how my A started at age 75. I had GERD in the middle of the night, for

several years. I BELIEVE the acid burnt the LES and caused MY Achalasia. That is

MY belief. Some studies also suggest this as a problem, maybe 7% acording to

notan. Will see if I can find the old references.

After this had two 16 mm dilations in the E but not in the LES, which caused me

to regurgitate all the time.

According to USA Today, Philbin, 79, has been suffering from an acid reflex-type

of stomach problem for months.

He said that he would drink barium and then have an X-ray or MRI. When " Live "

executive Gelman asked if the show could film the procedure, Philbin

said, " No. "

Also he was going in for a dilation.

Wonder if he has Achalasia? Wonder if we could contact him and give him some

advise.
