Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Put a freeze on frequent heartburn. Find out if GERD may be causing that uncomfortable burning sensation, then care for the symptoms. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may be helpful.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a disorder of the oesophagus that causes frequent symptoms of heartburn. The oesophagus is the tube connecting the mouth to the stomach. GERD occurs when a muscular ring called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is weakened, which permits irritating stomach contents to pass up into the oesophagus, resulting in heartburn.
Sometimes regurgitation of acid and food as high as the mouth can occur. Chronic irritation of the oesophagus by stomach acid can eventually cause ulceration and scarring and might lead to cancer of the oesophagus, especially in people who smoke and/or consume large amounts of alcohol
