He ordered an endoscopy procedure, which I had last Monday.  The
written results were:

  -  Esophageal motility disorder
  -  Nonspecific gastritis (biopsied)
  -  Hiatal hernia
  -  Successful Esophageal Dilation

(I was knocked out for the procedure, so I was unable to discuss the
results with the doctor afterwards.)

I have an appointment next week to meet the doctor to discuss the
results and my options.

The reason I am posting is I'd like to understand these things more
before I meet with the doctor.  I'm looking for a book or similar
information which will help give me a clue as to possible causes of
these problems, and possible solutions.

Your help is appreciated!

P.S.  I'm a 34 year old male in good physical shape, if that matters.

I have been having infrequent episodes of serious heartburn (~1/week),
along with difficulty swallowing, for the past 2 years.  I finally went
to go see a gastroenterologist last week.

  -  Esophageal motility disorder
  -  Nonspecific gastritis (biopsied)
