Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Sara and I both have it. It can be a big problem with people/kids with asthma ....actually causing or aggravating asthma is the acid is aspirated into the lungs in small quantities. My is rather atypical with mostly pain under my ribs. It is pretty common in EDS I've been told. Having a floppy or weak esphosageal spinchter is too and then developing a the hernia there and reflux often all goes hand in hand. I've been treated with previcid, prilosex and most recently twice a day nexium and heavy duty Zantac when I need it. I have been " offered " several surgeries , some very new ones that I don't plan on being their guinea pig for. They are for the weak LES which is expected with EDS too. Hope the test goes well! THe upper gi ... the one with the light.. w/o barium is a breeze! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have mention in my previous post, diet can help tremendously too with any type of GI problem, especially watching the kinds and types of food, as well eatting smaller more frequent meals. I think someone else posted about the correct diet. I still eat soem of the food I really like, if it is under good control, but I don't lay down for a couple of hours so the food can move through well.
