With no other explanations from all the tests, I am fairly certain this is what I have. The cool thing is there are very safe treatment options for it and I am going to try some of them out.
This was a big cause of my GERD problem...

Two words: esophageal endoscopy!

I eventually had surgery -- a laproscopic nissan fundoplication. It was life-changing, stopped the GERD cold, I've not been bothered once in years since waking up after. They repaired the hiatal hernia at the same time.
