What is GERD?
GERD, or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, is a digestive condition where stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the food pipe. This may cause heartburn, sour taste, throat irritation, chest discomfort, bloating, and regurgitation.
In some patients, GERD may be associated with hiatus hernia, a condition where part of the stomach moves upward through the diaphragm. This can make reflux symptoms more frequent or persistent.
Patients can also read more about homeopathic treatment for GERD and acid reflux to understand the condition, symptoms, and treatment approach.
