View allI'm a bit worried because every time I take Rekool D, it feels like the capsule gets stuck in my throat. After a while, I start to feel acid rising up into my throat, and its really uncomfortable. Some days I have a normal bowel movement, but other times its a bit mild. This has been going on since April, and I'm unsure what's happening with my body. Could you help me understand what might be going on?
Your symptoms seem to be a combination of possible acid reflux (GERD) and issues with swallowing the Rekool D medication, possibly exacerbated by IBS or digestive sensitivity. It's important to address these issues with your doctor, as they can recommend modifications in your treatment plan or explore further testing to rule out other conditions. Taking the medication with plenty of water, following up with your doctor, and potentially adjusting your diet could help manage your symptoms more effectively.
