Quick status update: Overall, I am maintaining my lack of the "food in throat/lump in throat" feeling -- and it is encouraging! It seems the longer I go without this concern, the more I feel this issue may be resolved for good. However, this past weekend, I ate larger quantities -- knowingly! (why do I do this?!) -- and I caught myself eating fast a few times. I've felt some reflux, belching, and overall "bloating" as a result. It was a second "birthday weekend celebration," so I allowed some indulgence, but still -- is there any excuse for overeating or gulping down food? I'm not being hard on myself; instead, I'm using the past days as "evidence" that my slow eating/small portions is the right approach.
U OF WISCONSIN'S INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE PROGRAM
Poking around the web, I found a few things of interest. Here's some useful linkage:
From the University of Wisconsin's Integrative Medicine program, here are two engaging videos featuring Dr. David Kiefer and Dr. David Rakel. I love their conversational, anecdotal style. Good reminders for those of us well-versed in GERD, and a great introduction to these topics:
Discusses stress effects, exercise.
Overall discussion of GERD; excellent introduction and refresher.
