i  believe i have the bile relfux also since my gallbladder was removed almost a year ago (july 2008) Its driving me crazy nothing seems to help it. The antacids seem to make it worse at times or only help for a little while. Was your throat getting sore or is it still geetting sore from the reflux? i've been searching for help with the bile reflux. The only things so far i've found were these links. Please if you find any information for help for the bile reflux i really like a natural holistic cure. The anatcids are so bad for people especially long term.
