[Studies about influence of food on gastroesophageal reflux. I. pH measurements before and after standardized meal (author's transl)].

Continuous pH measurements were undertaken by 87 patients (17 without, 30 with small, 40 with heavy symptons of reflux) for the study of gastroesophageal reflux 1 hour before and after standardized meal. A significant increase of reflux was shown by 19 patients with reflux under dry conditions, whereas reflux was demonstrated by 47 patients for the first time. After meal provocation of reflux was shown by patients with typical symptoms of reflux. An increase of reflux was shown the heavier reflux sumptoms were. pH measurements of gastroesophageal reflux seem to improve the evidence of results after such standardized meal.
