Could it be relux after all...
Posted , 9 users are following.
for the last year ive had a lump in my throat, had it checked with the ENT and they said probably silent reflux or anxiety. i seem to alternate between either a lump in the throat, or a horrible taste that last for ages at a time. recently i thought i had oral thrush, my mouth just felt horrible, white tongue and a burning sensation in the tongue and throat. oral thrush treatment didnt help. out of desperation i tried a gaviscon tablet, i have a history of reflux, but i cant say i feel the typical burn feeling that often. the gaviscon tablet really did take the bad taste away very quickly!! looks like ill be revisiting the doc and see if something better can be done. just didnt imagine silent reflux could make my mouth taste so bad!

Silent symptoms and they are exactly what you are describing.

I have GERD and 'minimal' Barretts so was told to stop ppi and all other meds I was taking..I was also diagnosed with sjogren's Syndrome ( and had Pityriasis Rosea for 4 months) as my sjogren's got better I took myself off the med. I have bad breath very frequently and burning tongue all the time...All mouth washes burn my tongue unbearbly to the point that many times I have to just spit out the mouthwash. I occassionally still take Gaviscon Advance liquid at night but it doesnt make a differernce to breath or tongue
Are both (bad breath and burning tongue ) these related to reflux?

After 22 years of trying to get rid of it I can tell you that mouth washes and mints do nothing to help, and can often make it worse.
Although currently I am using one brand of mouth wash not becuase its stop my bad breath (it doesn't) but because it seems to help stop the burning in my throat.

The lump in th ethroat (globus) was reported by 50% of the 100 ppeople surveyed.
And the bad taste was higher putting it as 5th most reported symptom.
Reflux doesn't need to be acidic and acid suppressant medication does little to reduce reflux.
