[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 387123, member: 2423"] M had an upper endoscopy as part of her workup when her choking phobia started. It was negative. That doesn't mean that C is not experiencing discomfort because of her sporadic eating habits. The less you eat, the more chance there is of stomach acid washing back up into the esophagus and causing discomfort. Furthermore, if she is constipated and her stomach is distended, that can cause pressure on the juncture between the stomach and esophagus and force acid to wash back up as well. One way to see if things will settle down is to give her an over-the-counter acid reducer like Zantac or a PPI like Prevacid for several days once you check it out with your pediatrician. (Can you tell my father is a gastroenterologist -- LOL?) [/QUOTE]
