Abstract
When acidic mixers are added to cream liqueur curdling occurs. Oesopha geal motility was studied in normal volunteers during ingestion of thi s mixture and the effect of combining with gastric juice was assessed in a simulated physiological environment, Twenty-four h ambulatory man ometry and pH (n=22) and gastric studies (n=7) were carried out. There was no detrimental effect on oesophageal motility. The precipitation is rapidly broken down by the digestive process in the stomach.
