Abstract
G A A b st ra ct s secretion volume despite significant decrease in intragastric acidity. Gastric secretion accumulates on the top of the liquid meal forming a "floating" layer.

This phenomenon may be an important factor in the pathogenesis of GERD and in the persistence of GERD symptoms under PPI.
