GERD-Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
GERD is Heartburn and can also include symptoms such as: bloating or Gas, an acid taste in the mouth, trouble swallowing, regurgitation of food, chronic cough, hoarseness, asthma and infections of the ear, throat or sinuses.
Chronic GERD, if untreated, can lead to serious complications, including ulcers; bleeding from the lining of the esophagus; narrowing of the esophagus; and Barrett's esophagus, a change in the cellular makeup of the esophagus that increases the risk of esophageal cancer.
GERD occurs when stomach acid moves in the wrong direction, flowing back into the esophagus when a valve between the esophagus and stomach fails to close properly.
GERD affects over 60 million Americans
