Also, I had a barium swallow test done because of swallow issues, which showed the acid coming up my throat, despite high doses of
ranitidine. The lady conducting the test mentioned the pancreas, wondering if I had gotten it checked. I hadn't gotten it checked of late, so I requested the doctor to order a fasting blood gastrin level (so I could find out about if I might have Zollinger Ellison syndrome). He had me be off the ranitidine for a few days, which was torture to my throat.
