Asked By:mababi in Kansas City, KS

Dilated 6 wks out with little relief,3 mos out dilated bigger and fixed fold in stomach. After 2nd EGD had relief but I still have issues.When I throw up right after eating its a large amount of phlegm,rarely food.My doctor done unless it gets worse.Ive also had an stomach sonogram and an esophagus monomatey.I dont eat fast and eat small bites 5 mins apart.The problem starts with bite #1 and I've tried gas meds.I need to know if there are any other conditions or test my doctor may have missed.
