Anybody know if there any other known causes of chronic reflux besides
a weak esophaegal sphincter? I jsut had a manometry test, but it
didn't show anything unusual (I get the full analysis in a few days).
It's puzzling to me, because I get heartburn daily if I don't take
PPIs, and until I started sleeping at an incline, I was constantly
woken up by nighttime reflux. So if it's not a weak sphincter, what's
causing it?

thnx

Actually, let me add to this. I also have a small hiatal hernia -- is
that alone enough to cause the amount of reflux I have? Is there
anything else that can contribute?

Could gallbladder pains and bile reflux be confusing the situation?

Howard will be able to help you more than I can.
