Werner - My symptoms are very close to yours. My problems started Dec 99. I have had classic heartburn only ONE time in 5 months but I am convinced that I have some type of reflux. I am on Prevacid 2X/day and occasionally take tagamet or similar if I need an extra boost (after a resteraunt meal for example).
My most common symptom is a very annoying lump in my throat and/or some difficulty swallowing. I find that my two best friends are water and lettuce (or other greens).
My symptoms have improved significantly over this time but whenever I think that I'm almost cured - wham - it comes back.
Oh well, I REALLY feel for those in this group that have the real heartburn symptoms. Having been there once, I can understand their grief. God bless you all.
