reflux

Is reflux, possible because of Cerebellar Ataxia, helped by any antacid medicine?

[nigelrheath]

reflux is much more likely to be age related and to do with muscle wastage due to lack or reduced activity. Antacids will provide a temporary solution. A Swedish invention called iquoro is a device to exercise the 142 internal muscles involved in swallowing. I think it’s available through the nhs as it’s fairly expensive. I have been having great success with this issue using a baby’s dummy or soother, 2 for £1.00 at Asda!

Have a look at iquoro website as it’s full of information about reflux.

Let me know if you need more information.

None of us are doctors, so it would be wrong to advise you on this, You would be best to see your doctor or a a Pharmacist.

fortunately doctors know about reflux! Ataxia? What’s that?

True, so I asked my ataxia neurologist by email. No answer yet.
