Have there been any books written on reflux (GERD) disease and
sinusitis?
Thanks

You usually can't get full text articles, but often can get abstracts.

Do you need a book or just to talk about it?
We have discussed it extensively on this newsgroup.
Many ENT's believe it is a cause of sinusitis and especially of coughing.
They pretty well all check for it now routinely but looking at your larynx with
the laryngoscope for stains.
But if it is just very light GERD, it is probably not the cause of chronic
widespread sinusitis. It might aggravate it a bit though....

A whole book? Not that I'm aware of.
But the theory that reflux can lead to sinusitis is increasingly
suspected by some (but not all) ENTs. The problem is, the
gastroenterologists tend not to believe it.
My ENT believes it. The problem he's having, and I'm having, is he
can't find a gastroenterologist in the Boston area to work with him on
treating his sinusitis patients. Helplessly, he actually asked *me* to
try to search the Internet for gastroenterologists in the New England
area who might subscribe to that theory.
