Accepted Answer

Different diagnosis?: Although LPR or GERD does not always respond to medication treatment ( surgery may be needed for some), it does not usually cause food to get stuck  (in rare cases, prolonged reflux may need to stricture from scarring). I suspect you may be suffering from Eosinophilic esophagitis which may improve with certain dietary avoidance. Consult a GI specialist to get an evaluation.

Question 9

hi, is it ok to take gaviscon while i'm taking ranitidine.?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: It is common to use a drug like ranitidine with an antacid like gaviscon. As with most drugs, antacids - especially those with aluminum- can bind certain other drug sand reduce absorption don;t know if you're taking any other meds so i would separate the Gaviscon and other meds by at least 1-2 hours.
