Gastroesophageal refers to stomach and reflux means to flow back or return. Hence, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease or GERD means the backwash of stomach acid and occasionally stomach contents into the esophagus causing irritation to the lining of the esophagus and leaving it inflamed.GERD, a chronic digestive disorder, also called acid reflux or heartburn is a common condition many experience from time to time. But, when the symptoms show up at least twice a week or interfere with daily life or when the doctor confirms damage to the esophagus, you may be diagnosed with GERD.Again most can mitigate the discomfort caused by GERD by adopting suitable lifestyle changes and taking over the counter medications. Then, for some stronger medication or even surgery is required. • GERD is usually self diagnosable. Symptoms include burning sensation in the chest after eating food and the pain worsens when lying down.
