navia, I just want to say that I truly understand how you feel. This problem has truly put a damper on my life. The strange thing is that I was sent to ENT who said it was a GI issue, and to go back to GI. When I described my Sx. to GI and asked him if he ever heard of it, he said NO. I have been through all the tests except for the one you mentioned which he says is very painful. I have learned more from everyone on this site, than from this very large group of GI docs.I have read a lot about it. I can tell you that concentrated sugar products make it worse, especially chocolate. I can say that I have tried Mucinex for mucous relief and it has helped. I also bought a new cool mist humidifier for bedtime, and point it toward my face, and it has helped.I go back to see GI next month. I think I have received more help from people on this site than from the GI docs.Just my feelings. Take care and best of luck.

So glad to see your post. I’m in month seven and feel like I’m navigating on my own.

I have also been on the run around between ENT and GI. I think the truth is that it is partially both and they should work together which my 2 consultants seem to quite well. It took ages to be diagnosed because a lot of GPs don't know anything about it and think it is caused by sinus. It does seem though that it is one of those chronic problems that you either live with and try and handle your diet. That book Dropping Acid is very good and has helped a lot of people.
Or there are surgery options and I believe Mayo Clinic is one of the top clinics to treat this. I am considering it but probably need to have the nasty 24 hour test first.
