About GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus. This backwash (acid reflux) can irritate the lining of your esophagus. While many people experience acid reflux occasionally, GERD is diagnosed when it occurs frequently and requires ongoing treatment.
Common Causes
- Weakened lower esophageal sphincter
- Hiatal hernia
- Obesity
- Pregnancy
- Delayed stomach emptying
- Connective tissue disorders
- Smoking and alcohol
- Certain medications
