Anyone noticing difficulty swallowing along with acid reflux? I read that prednisone can cause this, causes the esophagus to not contract enough. I tried Pepcid but it's not helping.

I have symptoms that suggest that the whole of my digestive system lacks motility. This muscle weakness can stem from Prednisalone. Endoscopies and Colonoscopies only showed normal wear and tear. I do seem prone to choking on foods like bacon too. I would mention it to your doctors though.

If you have difficulty swallowing and acid reflux you need to get medical advice as soon as possible. That can be typical of a variety of problems and some are nasty so need ruling out.
Years ago I had horrible GERD and had to try to sleep on a propped-up bed. A friend told me about kefir, which I started making. In a month the GERD was gone and no trace since.
