A member asked:
Felt like food and liquid were getting stuck in the middle of my ribs. had endoscopy found gastritis. now i have been noticing my swallowing is becoming more difficult, specifically saliva. can gastritis cause this? taking prilosec 20 for 4 weeks now
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gastritis: In my experience this is more of a symptom of an esophageal motility disorder rather than gastritis. In some cases of gastritis, prilosec has to be taken twice a day to be effective. You could try that, but if symptoms persist ask your gastroenterologist about the possibility of esophageal motility disorder in your case.
