I am not talking about weight gain or loss. I would like to hear direct experiences regarding the subject.
I have noticed my throat and chest area have become damaged somehow. My voice has also changed a bit. Today it was like I was trying to throw up my throat. It was terrible. I also seemed to have developed this rough cough. I feel like a mess.
But please feel free to share any nuggets of wisdom you may have on this topic. Thanks.
:
I had this and the GI md said it was gastritis caused by drinking. Alcohol use to make me have a sore throat when I woke up.
Try a bland diet. Rice, bread, lay off the fats/grease, spicy, fast food, soda...
I too, found that I would cough alot in withdrawal...I think it was more like anxiety causing it...I noticed it would stop after I had stopped drinking. Go figure!
Hope you feel better!
