Silent reflux
Hey y’all,
With the World Cup on and what not, I’ve had opportunities to eat a lot more greasy fatty foods along with alcohol. On June 24th I had the worst case of acid reflux I have felt in years a long with gnawing hunger pains even post meals.
Thinking I was now diabetic due to the hunger pangs (since it runs in the family), I scheduled a wellness visit, and I Requested blood work, an Hpylori test, and referral to gastroenterology to hopefully get an endoscopy soon. Dr. told me that for the moment to take famotidine (Pepcid) and to take omeprazole after the Hpylori test next week.
The Pepcid helped with hunger pangs and the regurgitation of food and stomach acid. And I am much better from the Pepcid 20mins before meals. But now I am struggling with other symptoms that I assume are more LPR-like.
As I wait for all of these things to take place, what do you all do to tackle silent reflux. I assume this is what I have since I don’t have heart burn. But have hoarseness, cough, throat irritation and dry mouth.
TIA
