Regurgitation

regurgitation. Do you also experience food coming into your mouth at night? My mother had a McKeown esophagectomy with cervical anastomosis 6 months ago. Now, after sleeping at night, food comes into her mouth and she wakes up coughing. Is there anyone alive?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Esophageal Cancer Support Group.

Sadly it happens to most of us. Elevating the head of the bed about 30 degrees helps. Won't completely stop it but it gets better over time
