Hi, sandy mc! Posted: 05-16-08 03:20am
Yes, yellow coating on tongue and bitter
taste in mouth are consequences of having
acid reflux. Bitter or sour taste inside
the mouth occur as soon as the contents
inside the stomach (stomach acid and
occasionally, bile), reflux up inside the
esophagus, usually, reaching the back of
the throat, leaving a sour or bitter taste
inside the mouth.
I have given you more detailed answers for
the same questions you asked on the other
topic "burning down spine and shoulder
blades" from February.
You can check my last post on that topic
to read the answers.
Do you take some treatment for your
condition?
For how long you are bothered with acid
reflux?
If you want, we can continue our posting
on the old topic.
Waiting for your post!

Helicobacter Pilory is a bacteria that's
directly associated with gastroduodenal
pathologies like chronic gastritis
(inflammation of stomach lining), duodenal
(first part of intestine that is attached
to stomach) and gastric ulcers.
Doctor will examine the inside of your
esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (the
first part of the small intestine), check
the walls and tissue of the upper
digestive tract for some lesions (changed
type of lining, narrowing, ulcers).
Have you been treated with antibiotics for
Helicobacter pylori?
Did the acid reflux start after that or
you had it even before you were diagnosed
with this bacteria?

I asked you if the symptoms of GERD
started after you were treated for the
bacterium, because Helicobacter pylori is
associated with a lower severity of
symptoms of GERD, as well as a lower
incidence of Barrett's esophagus. Some
studies have shown that patients who are
treated for Helicobacter pylori can
develop symptoms of GERD after the
bacteria has been killed. If you have
Helicobacter pylori and GERD, both
disorders must be treated.
Endoscopy provides a sensitive, specific,
and safe method for diagnosing peptic
ulcers, allowing direct inspection and
biopsy (the physician can see
abnormalities, like inflammation or
bleeding, through the endoscope that don't
show up well on x rays. Also, can insert
instruments into the scope to treat
bleeding abnormalities or remove samples
of tissue (biopsy) for further tests).
The results of the endoscopy with the
symptoms you have will give your physician
enough material for the final diagnosis.
Do you feel pain below your breastbone 2
or 3 hours after eating?
Do you get stomach pain that awake you
during the night?
