I could breathe, but I couldn't finish swallowing. I have a genius GI doc who kindly did not mention that I was an overweight foodie--he just did two procedures (about 9 months apart) in which he stretched the esophagus where it enters the stomach. The acid from the reflux had caused scarring and narrowing. He also gave me great meds--Protonix is the current one. Having lived on a strict low-calorie, low-fat mostly vegetarian diet for ten weeks, I have not had a reflux or choking episode. Reflux can become more than painful, so best of luck with handling yours.Bayougeezerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07530640972330614129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21874386.post-24341132915721547672008-05-27T16:48:00.000-04:002008-05-27T16:48:00.000-04:00Mmm, looks nice.

I did it for my knee and when the sadistic assitant would "massage" my knee, I would nearly fall off the table from the pain of him pushing on the tendons.Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13346954873062614067noreply@blogger.com
