Colonic fermentation influences lower esophageal sphincter function in gastroesophageal reflux disease

Gastroenterology, 2003
Colonic fermentation of carbohydrates is known to influence gastric and esophageal motility in healthy subjects. This study investigated the effects of colonic fermentation induced by oral administration of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).In the cross-over design used in the study, 9 patients with ...
