Acid reflux major component of recurring lung infections contributing to asthma

Diane,

The woman that posted this "Share" is a dear friend of mine. It's actually her husband who's suffering from the acid reflux which is going into his lungs and causing his asthma and subsequent lung infections. It's unbelievable what they have both been through.

It took years for a doctor to diagnosis him properly. They kept treating him for asthma and that's not what he had. It was just a symptom of the real problem. Horrible acid reflux going into his lungs. How often have we heard that?

We need to find other women who've had or have this condition or know of someone, a family member or a friend perhaps, who's had this condition and find out how they were treated for it.

Also, I'd love for all of you..our incredible, moderators, to help her find a list of foods her husband should stay away from because of the acid reflux he's experiencing. I want really good research on this. Let's see if we can find a great site that has science based around why these foods are bad for you.

We need to help her find some answers for him.

Has anyone else found something that worked for them besides having the Nissen Fundoplication procedure?

If you've had the Nissen Fundoplication procedure, did it work? What was the recovery time?

Best in health,

Anon, thank you so much for your SHARE!

It sounds like this has been your own personal experience, am I right?

What kind of infections were you having? Respiratory, I am assuming?

And how long ago did you have the Nissen Fundoplication procedure? I am certain others would be interested in more details about your story.

For those who've not heard of this before, here's a page explaining it, with a diagram:

Anon, we're very grateful for you that you've gotten some help. Has this been successful for you? How long has it been since the surgery?
