Yes, that is correct Reflux can be very dangerous to us...because this is the cause of the weakening of our Lower Esophageal Sphincter that the acid can flow back into our esophagus.

This can also lead to heartburn, the discomfort feeling of burning behind our breastbone.

hEY THERE, SO MANY PEOPLE IGNORE REFLUX AND IT IS TERRIBLE WHAT YOU HAVE TO GO THRU (THE SURGERYS) IF YOU IGNORE IT.. I WAS LUCKY AND CAUGHT IT IN TIME, BUT IT STILL BOTHERS ME SOMETIMES @20 BELOW!! aNOTHER WAY TO DEFEAT IT IS LOTS, LOTS OF WATER..

I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this. Several years ago I was diagnosed with VCD. I have had very severe laryngospasms for several years, passing out often with them because the vocal cords stay closed completely for as long as 2 1/2 minutes. That's a nightmare of a story in itself, but I wont go into that.

Since having my gallbladder out one year ago, I do not have the severe laryngospams any more. It has now been exactly one year since my surgery and I do have mild laryngospasms, but nothing like before. Now they are more like what the doctors describe. There has to be some connection between the two. Since my gallbladder was only barely functioning, it reasons that the stomach contents/acid/bile or whatever was backing up. The more reflux someone has, the worse the laryngospasms.

Anyone with anything similar?
