Living Daily with Crohns Disease By Crohnsnme

GERD.  We were on vacation many years back and I ate dinner and felt like I had food stuck in my throat.  Ended up going to the ER and the wait was so long I decided to cut my vacation early and go home to the doctors.  After an Endocscopy I was told I had GERD/Acid Reflux.  I have taken something everyday since. If I forget to take my prescription I feel the burning and it will remind me to go and take it to relieve the discomfort.  I have had that feeling like something is stuck in your throat a few times and it eventually goes away for me.  I often wonder how many crohn's patients also suffer from this, hopefully they are getting help for their symptoms too.
