Summary
The purpose of this research study is to learn about whether treating the esophagus with
amiloride reduces either the frequency or the time to onset of acid-induced heartburn in
patients with nonerosive reflux disease. In particular, we are looking at people who have
either had complete relief while using a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) or who have only had
some relief of symptoms while on a PPI.
