A member asked:

Why everytime i swallow food or liquid my upper back hurts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need for evaluation: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without more history, physical examination, and likely an endoscopic examination. It would be prudent to consult your doctor, especially if you have had an unintended weight loss.

A member asked:

Are you supposed to eat solid foods if you have esophagitis? Is there a specific diet? My doctors suspects, but we are waiting for tests. Gave me no diet instructions. Can swallow food, but some liquid comes back up instantly into my throat. Scared?
