Jenny, It is all related. It's your entire digestive tract. You really can't separate each section. When the small or large intestines aren't functioning , food isn't being properly assimilated, it can cause gas, etc. that in turn backs up and we feel it all the way up our esophagus. If you have lower gi problems, you must get someone to figure out WHY. What's going on in the gut. I had IBS about 6 years ago. Looking back, maybe it was the beginning of all this mess. It doesn't happen over night although it seems like we just wake up with this one day. And of course,it won't go away over night either. But little by little , we can work on one problem and perhaps the result will be some of the other symptoms will go away. Hang in there. I know it it is difficult. It's been almost 2 years for me. And I dread another Christmas not being able to really enjoy myself. But I try to look on the bright side. I've learned a lot over the last several months. I intend to correct this problem and let everyone know that it can be done. Enjoy your holiday. Ginny
