Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which the contents of the stomach are regurgitated back up into the esophagus instead of passing down into the small intestine to be digested. Everyone experiences some degree of GERD but it is only considered to be a disease when there are significant symptoms or complications.
Symptoms
The most common symptom of GERD is HEARTBURN. This is a burning sensation in the esophagus caused by acid from the stomach coming back up through the separating valve. It often occurs after meals or when lying down.
