Any procedures for someone to stop reflux if they have weak les valve with some weak motility in esophagus. regurdigation bad and i'm on dexilant (dexlansoprazole). any suggestions since reg. surgery not an option.?

Reflux : Yes. A very simple put counterintuitive solution is adding hydrochloric acid supplementation to your diet. It's not the acid that is the problem it's the pressure or increases gas in your stomach that is causing the acid to 'reflux' into your esophagus resulting in irritation & damage. The acid is critical to killing fungus that causes bloating and gas which thrive when antacids are taken.

Sure there R, but...: There are lots of "non-invasive" anti-reflux procedures -- some performed endoscopically and others by surgery. Most cause some permanent change at the level of the les, and none are complication-free. Most are relatively new, so there is little data to prove long-term benefit. First see a gastroenterologist to better document why & what you are refluxing (consider ph impedance testing, more).

Options: There are some endoscopic procedures, the best of which is called stretta. If this doesn't work, there are a variety of surgical procedures to perform a fundoplication or place a magnet bracelet around the valve (linx). See e general or thoracic surgeon with experience in anti-reflux procedures to find out what is best for you.

Surg best option for: Characterizing esophageal dysmotility among different subgroups of patients with reflux disease may represent a fundamental approach to properly diagnose those patients and, thus, to set up the best therapeutic management. Currently, surgery represents the only reliable way to restore the esophagogastric junction integrity and to reduce transient LES relaxations .You may involve Gi for non surg
