<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Reading you letter regarding esophagus problems, I have a goiter or a swelling in the front part of my neck but my TSH level is where it should be.I do burp alot after eating also and seem to experience some problem in swallowing at times. I'm wondering now if I should be concerned. The doc did a bloodtest and a sonogram and was not concerned. I've been on the diet 3 yrs. and am at menapause age so thought maybe the hormone change could cause the goiter. Does anyone know? Jaent
