GERD
GERD or gastro-esophageal reflex disease affects millions of Americans. However, only recently has attention been given to this syndrome.
More than just heartburn, GERD has the potential to cause such conditions as serious as cancer. Almost everyone has experienced the reflux of stomach juices into the esophagus. This is felt as heartburn. Frequent and intense bouts constitute the condition known as GERD. GERD is related to an incompetent lower esophageal sphincter. This is a band of muscle at the end of the esophagus that acts as a valve preventing juices, which are acidic, from moving up from the stomach. The cells lining the esophagus are not built to withstand this constant acid bath and react with irritation, inflammation and even abnormal changes within the cells themselves. Fortunately, medications such as antacids can make stomach acid almost disappear and greatly reduce the dangers of GERD.
