[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks, all, for your replies.

1) no, haven't seeen a gastro yet, but thinking that is the next step. Have only seen my primary care doc and an ENT
2) ENT has put me on various meds-- initially OTC Prilosec, then prescription Prilosec, then Nexium, and finally upped the Nexium to twice daily. I have episodes of the sore throat/reflux a few times a year and in the past, the Nexium has done the trick, but this past time it isn't really helping and it's been more than two months. 
3) I think what I had was an upper endoscopy but am not sure. [b]Scope through my nose into the back of my throat. [/b] 
4) yes, have altered diet, though I'm far from perfect. No more caffeine, little to no alcohol, avoiding citrus and tomatoes and fatty foods, not eating within three hours of dinner. The dietary changes really stink. 
5) not a lot of stress, no more than normal for me and a lot less than many moms

Thanks! Got the name of a good gastro today and will make an appointment to see what he thinks. [/quote]

That was just a look at your throat. I agree that you should see a GI doctor to get at the underlying cause, possibly by upper endoscopy.
