I don't have much in the way of proof for this but I suspect that we

often do things that lead to inflammation of the LES. We eat or drink

things that are too hot and it get stuck at the LES or move through

slowly therefor burning it. I am sure I felt this happen and then for a

few days things were a bit more sticky there and it just didn't feel

right. I also think we may do that with pills, lemons and other things

that irritate the lining of the esophagus. We may know about pills but

there are other things we eat, like lemons, that may also do it. Another

way may be eating things that increase acid reflux.

Your suggestion of going back toward the early post fundoplication diet

at such times sounds like a good idea. Not just because it would be

easier to swallow but because with the good choices it may help the LES

heal and get over the inflammation.
