@vickie53 Hi Vicky. Sorry that your throat is giving you a fit. Along with popcycles, you may want to try honey. I had GERD, aka acid reflux. I had it so bad that it hurt to breathe. I honestly thought I must have throat cancer because of the constant burning. I took prescription strength Prilosec for a short while and followed the diet and directions to prevent the reflux. It all worked for me. You will know more after your visit with your dr. I have not heard of LINX either; what is it?
