Sore throats/heart burn

[jessie_carol]

I noticed today that whenever I eat snacks like goldfish or nacho chips I get a sore throat that burns and I have a dry cough for the night I eat them and the whole next day. I never really thought it was heart burn until today when I realized it was with the same foods over and over. I just thought I was getting sore throats because before starting to take vitamin D I would get colds constantly. I have not been diagnosed with anything at this point. I have had a colonoscopy and CT but my question is do you think this sore throat problem is reason enough to ask to have an endoscopy? Also, when I was in real pain before I started seeing my GI my pain was in the upper left and I was nauseous and throwing up, which are symptoms for things that would be seen in the endoscopy not colonoscopy correct?

Sounds like acid reflux. Have you tried any antacid meds? Or keeping a food diary to identify the triggers? Because I get bad reflux and my doc won't do an endoscopy unless it gets bad enough that my usual meds don't work. (but then I am in the UK)

In australia, i have never heard of goldfish as a snack, i thought they were a pet fish maybe, so was a bit shocked you were eating the fish from your fish tank. Just thought i should let you know, I have no idea what gold fish are.... in the USA that is...

haha! they are little crackers shaped like fish! they are also pets but I am talking about crackers. and I am not on any meds...I just felt like they should have checked the top half before the bottom half when I was throwing up and had upper abdominal pain and now this burning in my throat. But maybe I am wrong.

Sounds like acid reflux. Burning in the throat ,acid coming up,stomach gnawing,all signs of acid reflux. Talk to your doctor and see what he says. If so they can put you on something like Prilosec or nexium. You don't want to just let it go though because it can cause damage. I had scarring and ulcers on my egd from acid relux.

Yeah I agree it sounds like acid reflux. I called my doctor's office today because I asked my boyfriend to look into my mouth and it's all white on one side of my throat. He took a picture of it and it doesn't look normal. So I should be hearing from my doctor tomorrow.
