Summary

The investigators are looking at a novel approach to measuring gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) damage and reducing the need for costly and less optimal testing presently used for diagnostic and treatment purposes. The investigators will be using three custom mucosal impedance (MI) catheters, each designed to measure at slightly different spacing on the esophagus.
