Have your doctor test you for low acid in your stomach!! It has the same symptoms as GERD and is often over looked. All of the pills that you have been taking could be making things worse. I had a NF 5 years ago and I would never recommend it to any one and I had a great surgeon. Come to find out my sister, mom and niece have low acid and were suffering with acid reflux, until they found out they had low acid and are being treated correctly. I wish I would have known about this 5 years ago.

What does NF stand for? I'll be having my first consultation with a specialist surgeon for my diagnosis of achalasia type 111 next week. I have no idea of what he may want to do as far as a specific procedure for this affliction. I just know that I want these uncomfortable symptoms gone. I have lost a tremendous amount of weight over this. The one procedure that stands out for me would to possibly have the (POEM) procedure done. Then you just need to take a pill a day for the rest of my life. This procedure compared to the other two I read about, seems better in the long run. The other two sound rather iffy as far as long term results.
