Barrett's (severe) diagnosed 8 years ago. Had Nissan fundiplication. Took care of GERD. Have had UGI/scope every 2 years since. Symptoms of extreme gagging for past 2-3 years. Scopes show no advancement of Barretts according to less than desirable clinic/hospital in my town. Last scope 3/08. Doc says no more scopes for 5 years. Not only while brushing teeth, but I can be sitting watching TV, or driving my car and start gagging. In the back of my mind this is an esophageal problem. No weight loss. In fact I could lose 30#. Wondering.. anyone with overstimulation of gag reflex as a symptom of esophageal problems?
