GERD assessment including pH metry predicts a high response rate to PPI standard therapy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:We prepared an oral W/O microemulsion for the removal of colonic ammonia (ME-RCA). The effect of this microemulsion was influenced by the digestion process in the gastrointestinal tract. In this paper, we aim to show that stability was improved by using a microemulsion-based gel for the removal of colonic am...
