I have had a sore throat for a year now the specialist said it was due to reflux but I had an endoscopy and they found nothing wrong in the stomach and they told me that I would have to have a probe down my nose to the stomach to measure the acid, that really frightened me and i have tried everything to avoid it. Now I do not know what to do I had an intolerance test which showed food intolerance to 30+ foods and in spite of having followed the diet religiously I still suffer from a sorethroat, what do you think the cause might be, what is it that is not working properly, the doctor does not seem to know and I am getting really worried

throat endoscopy is not painful at all, and you will get some answers to your questions. Don't be afraid, it only takes about five minutes. I hope you will have a decent doctor who will guide your eating and meds.
