For pyrosis symptoms: Can have symptoms w/o damage. Avoid foods & behavior that delay stomach emptying &/or relax the lower esophageal sphincter--spicy, greasy food, mints, alcohol, tobacco, chocolate, tomato-based products, caffeinated & fizzy drinks, eating before bedtime. Lose weight. Elevate head of bed on blocks. Use otc acid blockers for relief (h2's: tagamet, zantac, (ranitidine) pepcid; ppi's: prilosec, prevacid, zegerid).

Stomach burning: An endoscopy cannot necessarily rule out Gerd, because it is possible to have Gerd without any visible findings on endoscopy. Often after a negative endoscopy a trial of medications is given to see how your body responds. Otherwise, further testing may be necessary. Good luck.
