Can You Help?

Ria1001 posted a plea on the Heartburn Forum about uncontrollable reflux, asking for advice on what may be wrong. Perhaps you can help! Ria1001 wrote:

"I have been fighting with "silent reflux" for over a year now. I never get heartburn or an upset stomach, all of a sudden my esophagus swells up and I can't swallow food. I have been on protonix, nexium & prevacid...I've tried changing my eating habits, homeopathic treatments and nothing is helping, I am terrified to eat (but I still do). I had a scope done and it came back normal. Except for having a narrow esophagus, which they stretched out. In the past 3 years I have had more medical problems than ever in my life, acne, large weight gain, eczema, my hair texture has changed & endometriosis. My doctors are not helping and I am going nuts! If anyone can put all this together and see something I can't I would appreciate it. My doctors are just covering it up with pills and I think there is an underlying problem here but I don’t know what it is? HELP!"
