For the last four days I have developed mild chest pain, sore throat and a burning sensation in my stomach/abdomen. Its there all the time but worse when bending. Doesn't seem to be any worse after eating though. Does this sound like reflux and can anyone explain the connection with IBD. Thanks in advance. Very new to this and desperate to learn☺

It goes sound like it could be reflux. I believe burning is a pretty classical symptom.
Connection with IBD I believe Is unknown. There seems to be higher acid reflux rates in IBD patients but why is unknown. Talk to your GI or primary care. They will likely start you on an acid blocking med to see if it helps. Does Zantac help you? That is one OTC med that works for reflux.

Teasle2,
My GERD and ulcer actually felt better after eating because then the acid had something to eat at other than the lining of my stomach. FYI: Anti-inflammatories can really make things worse, especially if it is an ulcer...

Any chest pain needs the Dr it's probably acid reflux but caution is best with chest pain.
