After years of treatment and no success in curing chronic asthma and recurring infection, acid reflux has been identified as a significant component of the infections. Antibiotics were unsuccessful in eliminating the infections completely. Nissan fundoplication - the stomach is wrapped up and over the lower portion of the esophagus to control acid from refluxing up through the esophagus and into the lungs - was performed after elevated sleeping, dietary changes and meds didn't work. ACID REFLUX - people are aspirating acid and are not even aware; classic indigestion symptoms are frequently missing.
