The Reflux Revolution Podcast by Molly Pelletier

Does drinking water trigger burning, throat tightness, or that lump-in-your-throat feeling even when your endoscopy comes back normal? With GERD, LPR, and chronic reflux, these symptoms can point to irritated tissue, esophageal hypersensitivity, or a combination of both.

In this episode, I break down why water can hurt, how to recognize the difference between reflux irritation and hypersensitivity, and the strategies that can help calm symptoms and support healing! ☺️
