Burning mouth syndrome – anyone else have this?

I was diagnosed with burning mouth. At first it was suspected to be a facial nerve issue. Took more than 4 years of suffering and treating before am emergency room Doctor suspected reflux although I denied reflux. Testing showed the reflux and Barrett’s. I am taking Prilosec. It’s amazing to me now when my mouth is burning a little how chewing a pepsid complete dissolvable tablet eliminates the mouth burning pretty quickly. I am getting ready to get some Tums to test. Sucralfate liquid taking 4 times a day helped the burning mouth also after about 30 days and nights of taking it.

I take protonix (PPI) so I'm not sure if I can take pepsid or other meds like that as well. Haven't tried it. I did used to try tums before protonix and it did nothing for my burning. I mostly avoid meds due to side effects and would love to get off protonix as there are a lot of mixed reviews about PPIs. It's healing and has made my red esophagus pink again. I'll ask after my next scope. My brother died at 59 from esophageal cancer (had silent reflux so no symptoms) so I try to be cautious.
