Merge

I suggest that this article be merged with esophagus and both Esophageal spasm and Gastroesophageal reflux disease be added to it. I am an electronic engineer and not qualified to do this.

I oppose the proposed merge. Each of those topics is distinct, and of primary interest to different audiences. Keeping the pages different makes it easier for most people to get to the information they want more quickly. --Arcadian (talk) 01:06, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
