Brief Answer:
Ask doctor to add prokinetic drug to prevent reflux.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
1)As endoscopy is normal patient should be examined for esophageal spasm.Esophageal spasm means that contractions of the esophagus are irregular, uncoordinated, and sometimes powerful. This condition may be called diffuse esophageal spasm, or DES. These spasms can prevent food from reaching the stomach.
2)Reflux of acid presents with the same symptom.Chest pain ,heaviness etc.
3)Acid reflux to mouth and throat irritates the cells in mouth causing them to secrete mucous to protect them.
4)Touch a drop of acid and you would feel severe burning .In GERD acid and bolus is constantly being refluxed into mouth causing pain burning etc.
5)Dizzines and nausea are inter related.A person with acid regurgitation in mouth feels constant nausea which may be associated with dizziness.Ask the doctor to try baseline medicines first inspite of doing tests after test.
6)Why she is off carbohydrates?
7)Yes but the treatment is incomplete.Only given for acid supresion but not for regurgitation of acid back into esophagus and mouth.
SILENT REFUX-Medicine is given to control excessive acid formation but where is the medicine to control its reflux?Question your doctor sir.
8) When she is on soft diet most of the food gets digested and nothing is left to form bolus of stools thats why bowels are irregular.
Hope i was clear and XXXXXXX
Follow ups are welcome.
