Twice now once today and once about 3 weeks ago I woke up with a bad burning in my throat....no heartburn just in my throat....it almost seems like I'm havin bile come into my throat while I sleep and it has burnt it....any one else have this or opinion on wat it is???

Yes, yes, yes! I just went through this. It was waking me up and killing me!! I had been taking 20 mg of prilosec 2x/day. They had me double the dose to 40 mg 2x/day, and that solved the problem. I didn't have reflux before surgery, so I didn't know what the heck was going on. It was reflux. I was sleeved on 4/23.

Yes I have reflux very bad also. Even just drinking Water. It is getting better but I have to take Mylantic to coat my throat and also other reflux fighters.

Yep - that's acid reflux. I have been battleing it for a few years but am hoping the hernia repair that I'm having during surgery quiets it down, other wise I'm sure will be upping my dose of Omeprazole.

re flux and try to start taking something as chronic acid re flux can cause cancer in your esophagus.
