I battled what I believe to be silent reflux for years. For me it started out as a weird persistent sore throat. Then after months I started getting bouts of nausea and a feeling of swelling in my ears and throat. After a lot of doctor visits (who kept repeating GERD) and various medicines, I totally gave up coffee. It wasn’t immediate but after a few months I felt better and after a year I was totally back to normal.
In case someone out there is searching for a success story.
It was really hard because nothing worked immediately. I still can’t be completely sure it was the coffee but I feel better now and will never go back to try again.
- adamredwoods 3y agoI have a little bit of silent reflux, and it will cause me to gag occasionally. I definitely attribute it to coffee + alcohol. While I've cut alcohol down dramatically, I've also tried lowering the acidity of coffee, using darker roasts, adding more water, seems to help a little.
