Hi all

Im new to site foudn it when I googled something on reflux... anyway My history is I have had reflux for about 7 years now im 29 will be 30 in a few weeks AUGHHH ..

I had the Nissen/funduplocation surgery for reflux as was recommended by my Gastro back in 2001 due to the results of my ph probe testing etc. well the surgery didnt work I was still having reflux plus a whole lot of new problems like NOT BEING ABLE TO EAT SOLIDS for 9 months almost I lost alot of weight which I didnt need since Im thin to begin with anyway my Gastro I went back to did another Endo to lossen and check to make sure everything was ok.... so I have been pn prevacid ever since and I guess it was stable...until about a few weeks ago I started getting bad reflux REALLY bad I mean it was just coming up ALL the time no matter what I ate an incidentally I dont eat anything acidic... I did have my gallbladder removed in Nov 06 because of numerous stones they found after I complained of nauesa for months. Im wondering if it could be bile reflux?

Well Im seeing a new Gasto becuz I moved 1000 miles away and he took me off prevacid 30 mg twice a day to Aciphex 20mg twice a day I still feel bad so he did a PH probe but had me keep taking the Aciphex while on the study which was the Bravo study that implants for 48 hours on your esophageous....anyway he did some biopsies also and said the study result are ok but the biopsy suggested alot of inflammation so he put me on Carafate 4x a day..... But my main concern is the pain in my throat when I swallow it feels as if something is there but He stated it looked good CAN anyone relate or have advice????? I still have no relief and its been a few weeks now Ive been on the Aciphex for 2 weeks and Carafate for 3 days

Any answers are appreciated!!!! Thanks for reading my drama!
