GERD?

[Michaelwright12q7]

After I eat I feel bloated, food and drink feels like it stays in my throat. Lots of gas. Sometimes burning sensation.
I have been taking acid relief medication and it has helped but the feeling of food and drink staying in my throat is driving me crazy.
What do you think?

  Hi and welcome to the GERD forum.

LPR also known as Silent reflux does have the symptom of a sensation of a lump or food still in the throat.....see a GI Dr for testing and get on not only the proper med and dosage but a modified diet and lifestyle...meds alone can not help if the offending foods continue to be consumed.

Thank you! I smoke and drink an energy drink every morning. I know it sounds like common sense to stop but I've just started having this problem.

  It does not matter that the symptoms are new, what you are doing will cause the symptoms to continue....the energy drink could be an issue as well as smoking.....talk to your Dr and get on a modified diet to help you.
