Fermented Soy and Heartburn Symptom Relief
Description

Heartburn is as common gastrointestinal symptom experienced by otherwise healthy adults and typically manifests as a painful burning sensation in the upper abdomen or in the chest. Typically, heartburn symptoms are treated with over-the-counter (OTC) medications which may come with side effects. There is suggestive evidence of the efficacy of fermented soy (Gastro-AD®) for the heartburn symptom relief. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of a fermented soy on heartburn symptom relief and time to onset.

Can E-cadherin Found in Tissue/Blood be Valuable in Identifying & Monitoring Patients With Post-proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI)-Responsive Heartburn
Description

The purpose of this research study is to determine in heartburn patients with nonerosive disease if detecting the presence of a fragment of the protein e-cadherin in esophageal epithelium or the amount of fragments of e-cadherin in blood can be used to monitor healing of esophagitis treated with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). The hypothesis is that the presence of fragments of e-cadherin in esophageal epithelium or the amount of fragments of e-cadherin in blood can you useful as a biomarker for the healing of esophagitis in patients successfully treated with a PPI.

The Frequency of Eosinophilic Esophagitis in Patients With Heartburn That is Refractory to Proton Pump Inhibitors
Description

Background: Up to 40% of patients who are treated with PPIs for symptoms that are thought to be due to GERD experience only incomplete relief of their symptoms. Those patients are deemed "PPI failures." Esophageal pH monitoring studies have shown that PPI failure rarely is due to persistent acid reflux. Recently, heartburn that is refractory to treatment with PPIs has been described in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis, a disorder of unknown etiology in which eosinophils infiltrate the squamous epithelium of the esophagus, where they cause symptoms and tissue injury. Presently, it is not clear how often eosinophilic esophagitis underlies PPI failure for patients with GERD symptoms. Purpose: To estimate the frequency with which eosinophilic esophagitis is the cause of "PPI failure" in patients thought to have heartburn due to GERD. Methods: Patients referred to the Division of Gastroenterology at the Dallas VA Medical Center for the evaluation of heartburn that is refractory to PPI therapy will be invited to participate in the study. Patients who provide informed consent will have a medical history taken. Women of child bearing potential will have a pregnancy test. The patients' current PPI therapy will be discontinued, and patients will be treated with lansoprazole 30 mg BID for one week. The patient will return to the clinic one week later. Patients who feel that their heartburn has not improved by more than 50% from baseline will have an endoscopic evaluation. During the endoscopic examination, biopsy specimens will be taken as follows: A. Two specimens from the proximal esophagus at 20 cm from the incisor teeth. B. Two specimens from the mid-esophagus at 28 cm from the incisor teeth. C. Two specimens from the distal esophagus, 3 cm above the squamo-columnar junction. D. Two specimens from the distal esophagus, 1 cm above the squamo-columnar junction. E. Two specimens from the second portion of the duodenum (to see if the eosinophilia is confined to the esophagus, or part of a more extensive eosinophilic gastroenteritis). A diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis will be made if there is at least one high-power field with \>25 eosinophils, or two or more high-power fields with \>15 eosinophils. Potential Benefits: This study will provide an estimate on the frequency with which eosinophilic esophagitis is the cause of "PPI failure" in patients thought to have heartburn due to GERD. This has substantial potential importance for patient management.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)/Nighttime Heartburn and Driving Performance
Description

The implications of sleep as it relates to the physiology and pathogenesis of a number of diseases has until recently been ignored. With the evolution of sleep laboratories, there is an emerging recognition of the relationship between sleep and various gastrointestinal diseases- in particular gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).( 1-5) It seems intuitive that waking/daytime activities or events may affect sleep and that any consequent sleep dysfunction may reciprocally further affect daytime function
