Big deal, so he has to take antacids...........

"Acid Reflux" is a generic term and could also include "Barret's Esophagus"

In any case, this ain't really news.......

It’s probably just a dog bone splinter caught in his throat.

“There are many risk factors for acid reflux, including smoking, use of alcohol and hiatal hernia, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.”

Probably some STDs as well... And in his case probably more likely.

Adult onset oral California hot tub rectal gonorrhea?

Not that I'm hoping, but allow me to quote Clarence Darrow:

Is there a correlation between acid reflux and esophageal cancer?

I haven’t kept up with these Barry/acid reflux threads. Possibly the question has been answered already.

His mother Stanley Ann Dunham was a heavy smoker. She died of cancer at a relatively young age, not quite 53.

His father was a raging alcoholic who died at early age in a DUI wreck at the age of 46.

They were double checking for esophageal cancer, stomach cancer or other as it has a high incidence in smokers and what else has he smoked in his life...

If he had anything serious - they wouldn’t tell us anyway...

But we can wish.

I think some things have been stuck in his throat over the years.

If he was seriously ill, would he tell us? Would the media pressure him to tell the truth?

I wonder if it is the Nicorette Gum he has probably used for years now. I think it may have caused my chronic acid reflux.

Anyone really believe it was acid reflux? You don’t need a work up for that. Change your diet, don’t eat at night and sleep with your head a bit higher. Something else is going on with him. How much are we on the hook for?

Yes, he is POTUS, but I think the level of tests seem a bit excessive. Under Obamacare treatment protocols (death panels) I doubt any of us peons would get those tests for a sore throat. After our 10 minute visit with a physicians assistant we would be sent home and told to gargle with salt water or for acid reflux be told to buy some antacid tablets

Has anyone thought it might be throat cancer? That’s what killed President Ulysses S. Grant.

Maybe it was something he ate.
