What Is GERD?
Gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD happens when stomach acid usually flows into the esophagus, which connects the stomach and the mouth. This acid reflux may irritate the esophagus’s lining. Most people tend to experience this problem from time to time. Mild cases may occur at least two times per week, while moderate to severe cases may occur one time per week. Fortunately, some OTC medications and lifestyle changes may help reduce the discomfort and manage the symptoms of GERD. [2]
