Got a notice that Rus H left a reply to my post. Since this is the only reply that I see I'm assuming it's from Rus. Thank you for your comments. The odd thing is, I haven't had any serious pain in my oesophagus for I can't remember how long; it's all in my throat. I do get some serious burning in my butt from time to time. And I get spot pains around my gut that I haven't taken seriously until now. I have an appointment with a Dietician tomorrow and an annual physical next week. I think I'm going to ask if I can get tested for Celiac disease. Then in about I'll start my elimination diet. I'm feeling more confident that I'm on the right track since reading your reply. Thanks again.

Actually it was an earlier post on this forum. I copied the title and used it in my title for this quote. I found it by Googling (gluten sore throat congestion). I'm not sure if those are all the exact search terms but there about 90%. What got my attention were the descriptions in virtually every reply. The post has been closed, but if you can find it scroll through the replies. About a screen so down the list there's one that is identical to my symptoms; right down to the excessive mucus, with or without post nasal drip. I'm already treating for Asthma and allergies and I figure the elimination diet aught to cover Gerd. I won't see the nutritionist for a couple of weeks yet so I am considering asking my PCP about testing. Thank you all for your feedback. The more I have the better I'll be able to make an informed decision.
