381 Intercellular Space Distance Is Increased in Refractory Heartburn Patients with GERD But Not Those with Functional Heartburn (FH): A Study Using Impedance-pH and Electron Microscopy

Abstract

DGES r=0.70; p<0.0001), stomach fullness (NGES r=0.47; p<0.001, DGES r=0.60; p<0.001), and bloating (NGES r=0.62; p<0.001, DGES r=0.66; p<0.001). Conclusions: Symptom severity recorded during GES is higher in DGES than NGES patients for stomach fullness, abdominal pain, and bloating. There is a good correlation between symptoms recorded during GES and during daily life as recorded by the PAGI-SYM for 2 weeks prior to the test.
