Core Tip	We previously observed that gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms respond to exclusion diets based on food intolerance tests. In this randomized controlled pilot trial we found that patient partially/completely non responders to proton pump inhibitors experience a significant improvement in symptoms, compared with controls, after one month of exclusion diet based on leukocytotoxic test’s results. These results indicate a possible role of food intolerance in the etiopathogenesis of GERD symptoms, and a possible therapeutic application of exclusion diets when proton pump inhibitor are not effective/indicated.
