[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I went to an ENT for similar symptoms, she didn’t even send me to a GI to test for reflux; she told me I was too thin/not the typical weight for reflux. Does that seem possible? I never associated reflux with weight and don’t want anything to be overlooked.[/quote]

No. I’m quite thin, and suffered with these symptoms plus on/off sore throat for months. Every ENT blew me off. Finally a GI Dr did and endoscopy, and saw reflux. I take meds now, and it’s pretty under control if I watch my diet carefully. This summer I sort of let loose on vacations etc and am paying for it.  But if you eliminate your triggers, it helps a ton… [/quote]

Thank you, PP. Why are ENTs so dismissive? That’s frustrating. Can you tell me a bit more about your symptoms? Were they very bothersome, or were they on the mild side? What was the duration? I’ve had chronic nasal drip for so many years that I’m very used to it and it’s hard to gauge the severity.[/quote]
