Subject: RE: Upper GI Issues on the Bike It could be the bike position... your horizontal while consuming acidic fluids.... this allows stomach acids to move up into the throat (... that is bad and can cause some serious problems in future if you allow this to become chronic. )
To correct this problem can be simple (medication ) or complicated (surgery )... dependening on the cause of your GERD like symtoms.
The only REAL solution is to go to a gastro-intestinal doctor.
Anything less is only wishful thinking... any medications taken to moderate the symtoms could make the problem worse in the long run (specially if it is cancer or ulcer-like stomach issues ).
One visit to the doctor and a few tests later will definately be the right answer... unfortunately, you could probably buy a nice new set of wheels for that may cost... (heavy sigh ).
As it stands, your not going to need those nice set of racing wheels because you can't ride without getting sick... so, the best solution is to see a doctor.
