[QUOTE=alex12;2940239]According to an edoscopy I had done 6 months ago the GI put down I had Bile reflux... That makes me wonder if the PPI's would even work for that??? He said I had no acid reflux. My breathing and throat is not getting better and I wonder if it's because I am treating this wrong.
How do I get rid of Bile reflux?
ANyone else with a similar problem?:confused:
Other than the normal lifestlye modifications, anti-reflux surgery is effective at helping both acid and non-acid reflux. There is no medicine to date that is effective at stopping non-acid reflux as its mainly a mechanical problem (weak LES). Any medicine would just change the actual makeup of the reflux but not the problem itself. Some doctors use prokinectic agents to strengthen and correct perastalsis problems (Reglan, Domperidone, etc.). Im having the same problems here so Im with you. Has your doctor recommended an impedence test to make sure your symptoms corrolate to reflux events (acid or non-acid)?
