Hey Mel, Im not sure if I have the answer you are looking for but when I read your story I just had to send you a message. It sounds like you have a really rough time and I am so sorry all this has happened to you. I just had the PH test done 10 days ago, I know just by cutting out acid foods (tomatoes, citrus fruit and juices ) will help, but If you have GERD you will still have acid going into your esophagus. If I was trying to have a normal test I would cut out all caffine, chocolate, and acid foods now. Caffine, chocolate, and nicotine all weaken the LES and can aid in the amount of acid going back into the esophogus. I wish you well and please let me know how the tests turn out. I will say a prayer for you. Laura
