You just made me sad . <| sep |> As far as I can tell , this would have to be the order of things in order for them to not incorrectly overlap each other . I have purposely left out things we cannot with some certainty place in the timeline . <| sep |> My father had this when he ate too . It finally got so bad he had to go purge sometimes to get it to stop . They stretched the bottom of his esophagus and now he ' s OK . My mom has a hernia but it ' s mostly managed with omeprazole . I had GERD when I was an infant , 2 oz in 2 oz back out . Put on cereal and it worked . I totally lost the genetic gastrointestinal lottery . Just found out the random chokingclearing throat ? I sometimes had was a tonsil stone dislodged and being swallowed after feeling like my throat was closing for a week . Went to ENT and she started me on omeprazole and they went away for the most part . Went back for a checkup and she dropped me to Zantac because omeprazole can maybe damage kidneys long term , 4 weeks later and I ' m hiccuping single random hiccup ? But feels different . Had it forever . and also regurgitating a little when I bend over after eating and small burps randomly . Going back the 9 th for a check . Going to ask to go back on omeprazole and maybe a GI consult . sorry this is rambling , it ' s 7 am and I ' m not awake . Hahaha .
