Like a couple of previous posters, my GERD manifests itself as a sore throat if I talk a lot and also chest pain. I've done the emergency trip to the hospital, thinking I was having a heart attack, to be told after an ECG that my heart seemed perfectly healthy. My chest pain also occurs during the day after eating when I exercise. Unfortunately, as I'm a PE teacher, this is frequent and I've just sort of learned to live with it. I've identified the main foods that trigger it and bread is a major culprit here.
I love pickles but stopped eating them a few years ago (pre GERD) because I was told that the pickle juice was bad for me. So now I have an excuse to go back to something I love eating and possibly get relief for this debilitating condition. I'll tell you if it works.
