Gastritis Support Group
Gastritis is a medical term for inflammation of the lining of the stomach. It means that white blood cells move into the wall of the stomach as a response to some type of injury. Gastritis has many underlying causes, from infection with the bacterium H. pylori, bile reflux, or excessive consumption of alcohol or certain foods or drugs like aspirin.
My voice gets all weak and scratchy as the day goes on. Of course I feel the burning in my throat and my teeth hurt. I thought the teeth thing was nerve pain from my MS, but my neuro believes it's from the gastric mess. But, my gastro says it's not. So who do you listen to? None of them consult each other. And no 2 doctors have the same opinions on the same subjects. Very frustrating.
I might have a few good days then I get some bad ones where I can't eat and feel just terrible.
Going to try to see a dentist on general principal to be sure there is nothing dental going on. I believe it's the GERD causing my teeth and mouth to hurt.
Tell me what you all have found to help with the burning in your throats please. Right now I'm using the Pepzin GI and whatever I can find like Zantac or Pepcid. I think there must be more acid than showed on my PH Manometry tests.

It can be very subtle, you dont know you are having acid reflux and it tends to happen while sleeping.
Do you prop yourself up at night? I would take an acid reducer before bed and you may need one during the day as well. That is the only way to calm the throat, you have to reduce the refluxing that may be going on. Try pepcid or Zantac to start and see how it goes..
Good luck
