Digestive system diseases Gastro esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) Leticia Pelagio

Is when the lower esophageal sphincter opens spontaneously, for periods of time, or doesn’t close properly and stomach contents rise up into the esophagus.

Why GERD happens? The reason some people develop GERD is still unknown.

If you smoke, stop. Avoid foods and beverages that worsen symptoms. Lose weight if needed. Eat small, frequent meals. Wear loose-fitting clothes. Avoid lying down for 3 hours after a meal. Raise the head of your bed 6 to 8 inches by securing wood blocks under the bedposts. Just using extra pillows will not help.

Is GERD curable? It is a chronic disease so you will always have it but, you can treat symptoms with medications and avoiding certain things like acids.
