Chronic Heartburn and Lumps in Throat

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My 13-year old son has been having severe heartburn for many years. Also, many

times when he tries to eat, he gets a " lump " feeling in his throat where he

cannot eat or drink until it goes away.

We have been to many doctors, who simply prescribe him to take more and more

Prilosec / Prevacid.

I am convinced that he has some inherent gastro (or some other) problem that is

actually causing this.

Yesterday, we went to yet another doctor and even asked if he would get an X-ray

done so we could see if there was a problem. He just said to double the dose of

Prilosec.

Can anyone please help me to know what we should do???

Thanks in advance,

Calvin

My brother in law had those symptoms and he found out he was gluten

intolerant. (celiac)
