Can Tooth Implants Cause Severe Acid Reflux?

Is it possible to get sever acid reflux from having teeth implants? My friend got teeth implants around last Aug. and has lost over 50 lbs and cannot hold food down. He is throwing up what looks like saliva. He asked dentist and of course he said no relation to what was done. He has had a scope and then a PET scan...ct scan...I feel it all happened about the same time as teeth. He could die at this rate ..any suggestions as to where he could get a second opinion?

Hello
I had gone through your question diligently and I will try to help you out in best possible way

Apart from drugs Acid reflux can be manged with certain dietary and life style modifications like
Avoid fatty fried spicy and junk food or carbonated drinks
Have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables
You can take curd, cold milk or fruit juices

You should not stay hungry, have something to eat at frequent intervals because hunger increase acid production
You can liquid paraffin or lactulose for constipation
Avoid smoking and alcohol
relaxation exercises to allay anxiety and stress.
Don't lie down immediately after earing something

If you can.provide me more details like your age and presence of any other metabolic illness like diabetes or thyroid and liver disease , I will.be able etc help you better

In my opinion you should consult a gastroenterologist for an endoscopy and X ray chest to rule out hiatus hernia

Hope this answers your question
Thanks and regards
