Dear Pat - I have been down this road and am now a 47 yr. old, and back to singing.
I too had to simply stop for awhile as the symptoms would get in the way of my sound and all the discomfort that went along with it.
PLEASE find an excellent Holistic or homeopathic Dr. You will find from traditional Meds that within about 3 months your body will build up imunity to the drugs and they become ineffective. (You will then be back at square one). My Herbologist put me on an extensive one year plan of intestinal cleansing and rebuilding the digestive "juices" that diminish as we naturally age. Singers have a greater propensity to this problem due to the unusual uses of our body so we actually can create the problem. ALSO I have always been Upper respiratory sensitive and so this coupled with my singing made the problem quite extreme. I will not give you the Herbs that I took , because each case needs to be diagnosed by a professional. BUT you can start healing your intestinal lining by drinking a Aloe Vera juice right away. You'll notice relaxation of those inflamed intestines and the Stomach. Try to avoid products with the lemon juice additive. Best of Luck........I'm singing again and digesting my food properly. The Herbologist did a great Job. I now just take one of the Herbs when I feel I need to but most of the time I am now free of all the "Pill taking".
