hi I'm a 35 yr old singer and have been suffering with acid for nearly 3 yrs now. for the past 4 months I've been suffering with hoarseness which i did completely loose my voice. now i have a constant sore throat and is finding swallowing quite difficult now. especially tablets. I'm doing everything i possible can to reduce the acid but I'm not getting any better and is finding singing more and more difficult. I'm currently taking omeprazole 40mg a day risen the head end of the bed on a diet cause i am over weight. my diet at the moment consists of cereals and breadpasta and rice as everything else seem to aggravate me. my mouth and tongue feel like they're constantly burning and my throat is so dry. I've had to stop taking gaviscon as it burns my mouth throat and wind pipe. i'm off to see the doctor again but really need some advice what to do next. I'm worried this constant acid will lead to damaging my vocal chords throat and other. i'm at a total loss what to do. i did have a endoscopy 2 yrs ago and they found slight gastritis and the p.h monitor was fairly normal then. i've had depression on and off for 5 yrs and take the appropriate medication. i believe that the combination of this and being over weight has caused this. pleas can anyone help with some advice.

I am 25 overall very healthy and sportsmen with ideal weight I am suffering with the same problem many ENT visits 25 visits to GPS 2 blood tests and Recent Endoscopy every thing came normal and still throat pain remain same and same. I had acid prob about 3month before and was taking aomeprazole 20mg and had gone for endoscopy but acid reflex stopped by itself and sore throat and pain it still there. I can advice us as I did Dont take pasta as its made of tomato sauce generates too much acid I reduced rice food no any soft drink or fruit juices stopped eating chocolates and stayed away from garlic.I take cold milk soon after dinner or lunch cold milk help to stop generating or diminish excessive acid. This all was my personal practice for my self and now I dont have any acid reflex or chest pain since 3months and have stop taking Galviscon and Omeprazole completely. But still have throat pain and sore throat since more than 13 months. If u get any more info about throat pain and sore throat from any once let me know Please.
