Wonderful advice and info from all!

Yes, stomach reactions to incoming food proteins that one is sensitive to, can and often do cause gastric reflux episodes! Some high up reflux episodes can cause asthma, VCD/vocal cord dysfunction (laryngospasm), etc.

The high up type of reflux is called LPR/laryngo pharyngeal reflux, and can be silent, sometimes. (Laryngo=larynx=voice box; Pharyngeal=throat, which is above the larynx; Reflux is backing up of stomach liquid in esophagus. The non-technical term for LPR is "regurgitation", as was mentioned above. Usually, there's no heartburn, with LPR).

Dr. Fine, in his EnteroLab website, at http://www.finerhealth.com mentions gastric reflux as one of the many possible symptoms of gluten sensitivity (can be with or without heartburn).

I have some gastric reflux tips (drug-free----no acid blockers), on webpage 10 of my website. See Appendix B (gastric reflux tips for adults & older kids), and Appendix C (gastric reflux tips for infants), at http://cantbreathesuspectvcd.com/page10.html

Getting off gluten, casein, corn, soy, maybe yeast, maybe eggs, etc., usually lessens the reflux problems, and also lessens breathing problems.
