Hi,
I am writing a piece for the next issue of SWIMMER on acid reflux. We'd love to hear from anyone who has experience with the condition and any success in managing it. Also, health professionals with opinions on current treatments are welcome to weigh in.
I'm happy to receive private messages, or you can post a reply here.
Thanks for helping,

Hi Laura: I have posted problems with VCD while swimming. My ENT doctor thinks that acid reflex may be why my vocal cords are closing and is treating with Dexilant. But, even after 2 months of med's, I still can not swim more than 100 meters freestyle with out gasping for air. I can do pull and kick laps with out a problem.
