I had a few sealed Nowadays THC bottles delivered, and they ended up sitting inside a house with the A/C (unknowingly) out from about Wednesday until Friday.

The house was probably between 80–93°F during that time. The bottles were never in direct sunlight and stayed sealed inside their original cardboard shipping box the whole time.

Do you think they’re still good to drink? I’m mainly wondering if I should be concerned about potency or if the heat could have affected the product in any meaningful way.

Over the years I’ve had a mix of ongoing GI symptoms including reflux and regurgitation, nausea, a feeling like food or liquid is sitting in my throat, frequent burping, and also sometimes diarrhea with multiple loose stools a day. Testing has been a bit mixed.

My first endoscopy showed mild esophagitis, but a later one was normal. A barium swallow showed multiple reflux episodes going up higher into the esophagus. I also had a 24-hour pH study that came back with normal acid levels overall, but it did match up with my symptoms when they happened. Motility testing was normal. I had a gallbladder ultrasound too, which showed it was mildly contracted but there were no stones or sludge.

Overall, most of the testing has been pretty normal aside from that early inflammation and the reflux episodes seen on imaging, even though the symptoms have been pretty consistent, and I’m wondering if anyone who has had a hyperkinetic situation has had a similar experience?

A bit lengthy but please hear me out if you’ve had a similar experience or anything…

I developed GERD symptoms out of nowhere at 22 towards the end of 2020. I experienced: regurgitation and sore throat. Those were pretty much my only symptoms. It was just sore throat first, then turned into regurgitation.

Endoscopy in Feb of 2021 showed mild healing esophagitis, barium swallow showed multiple episodes of reflux. I was put on pantoprazole. 2021 & 2022 were some rough years with symptoms, but for some reason in 2023 & 2024 my symptoms seemed to become fairly manageable, with just flares here and there for a month or so.

In 2024, I had a pretty bad flare up so I went back to the GI and had another

Gastric emptying test - normal

Endoscopy - Normal

Ph test - also normal but positive symptom correlation.

Manometry - also normal

And yet, I was still experiencing maybe not full blown regurgitation but the feeling of my food rising back up. Nausea. Excessive burping. Doctor said it was reflux hypersensitivity. He knows better than I, but I was confused about the past history of confirmed esophagitis and sensitivity. That flare ended by some point but here I am, back in a flare experiencing the feeling of food rising, irritated throat, and burping.

I’ve never been tested for SIBO. Did anyone with SIBO experience the sensation of food traveling up their throat, or any of these other symptoms mentioned? TIA!
