Study Summary

Purpose: 1. Determine if oral quercetin increases the expression of claudin-4 in the lining of the esophagus of patients with a diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); and 2. Determine whether the increase in claudin-4 by oral quercetin is accompanied by improvement in the barrier function and acid resistance of the lining of the esophagus of patients with a diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) If interested, participants will be consented and provided a questionnaire to complete as part of the study. Participants will undergo endoscopy for routine care and will have up to 8 esophageal biopsies (small tissue samples) taken for the research study. After endoscopy, participants will be contacted to begin a 6 week treatment period with study drug (Quercetin, taken twice daily). At the end of the 6 week period, participants will be scheduled to have blood drawn and to have a follow-up endoscopy with biopsies performed for the research study.

Primary Outcome

To assess the change in claudin-4 levels in a given subject before and after administration of Quercetin (Q), our null hypothesis is that there will be no difference in claudin-4 levels (i.e. mean Δ of claudin-4 titer from t0 to t1 is 0) and the alternative hypothesis is that claudin-4 levels following the administration of Q will be significantly different than before administration. To test this hypothesis, we will perform paired Student's t-tests. If data violate normality, Wilcoxon signed-ra
