What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For GERD?
Hello, I have had the following symptoms for one year:
- sore, burning throat (worse in the mornings)
- stiff neck
- tightness in throat
- mucus in the back of throat
Some days the symptoms aren't noticeable, some days it's bad. I've seen a lot about GERD or acid reflux online but I took Prilosec and an antacid for 2 wks but no relief. Could this be a food allergy? Or gluten? Or if it is acid reflux, what will fix this besides medication?

Hello,
Persisting gastritis could be due to h.pylori infection so please get a stool analysis to exclude that possibility.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
