We have a family history of GERD.  My father had a ruptured ulcer in his
esophagus and is currently on an experimental medication to treat his
condition, which is described to me as "Barrett's [sp.] Throat."

Two years ago i reduced my grain [breads, rice, corn] and starchy carb
intake to almost zero and my chronic reflux disappeared within a couple
weeks.  its anecdotal i realize, but i can tie an increase in "starch"
intake with a recurrence of reflux.
