I saw this before. It was posted to Nih.gov too ? Aren't Articles on NIH required peer reviewed and verified?

I don't know what you mean by verified, but it is published by Springer Nature in their publication "Cureus", which is generally considered to be peer reviewed.

I used to get acid reflux, it was really noticeable while trying to sleep, but that changed after I drank some water (by accident) from inside a cave of a small island near Vanuatu. This led to the worst throat infection I've ever had, after treating it with antibiotics, I stopped having acid reflux altogether. It's been 5 years now without any acid reflux. However, I've now been diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).

Honestly I wonder how much of acid reflux is connected to the gut bacteria.

Did you perhaps have H. Pylori and your antibiotics eliminated it?

I was also diagnosed with EoE recently - my understanding is that it also causes symptoms that feel like reflux, but aren’t. Very occasionally I might actually have a bit of reflux (evidenced by a bit of regurgitation), but the burning sensation that I used to attribute to reflux I now attribute to EoE instead.

Seems worse when I’ve recently been eating my trigger foods (mostly dairy). Sucks not being able to eat cheese :(
