How many people have bile reflux? My acid reflux has been under control with meds, diet changes, and exercise but I always have this bitter taste in my mouth and it is driving me crazy. I'm newly diagnosed with pre-Barrett's (is there a difference between pre-Barrett's and Barrett's ? )and am currently taking Prilosec and Reglan. I thought maybe that taste was from all the meds I am taking but I am pretty sure I have had this before, just not as severe or for as long even before I began taking medications. I would be grateful for any info. I am starting to become very depressed over all of this. I am acutely aware of every burp, cough, pain in my throat and chest. I used to be such a happy person....
