My burning mouth, tongue, and tooth was finally diagnosed as silent reflux and Barrett’s. Treatment with PPI drug ( Nexium) high dose twice daily, sucralfate liquid 4 times a day and baclofen and occasional use of pepsid complete has given me so much relief from the burning it’s unbelievable after suffering over 3 years. Healing was not fast. Took a good 30 days of treatment to start seeing improvement in the burning. 2 months of treatment I was able to dose down and then stop taking pain pills and pregabalin. I am now 4 months into treatment. Of course I am following all reflux lifestyle choices regarding upper body elevation when sleeping, I don’t drink or smoke, I don’t eat late, I only eat small meal, no spice, no cokes, no fatty foods, etc. silent reflux and Barrett’s surprised me. My body is so relaxed now that I don’t have to tolerate so much burning mouth.
