Have you seen the television commercial with the guy eating pizza and his puzzled expression at the fact that he has reflux and heartburn? If the muscle at the end of your esophagus does not close, you will experience reflux, or a rising up of the contents of the stomach, which then irritates the esophagus. If this happens more than twice a week, you might have GERD, which can be serious over time. But, GERD is very responsive to diet and lifestyle changes. Someone tell the pizza guy to avoid alcohol, spicy and acidic food, and to consider eating smaller meals. But, there’s more. Join this community to find an informed doctor and learn more about eating, exercise, stress management, and nutritional supplementation for GERD.
