If a person suffers from acid reflux disease and gerd are they more likely to get stomach cancer of any sort?

or any cancers of that area these problems exist?

They are the same thing, the following will help to clear up things a bit, but yes they can be tied to cancer of the stomach and or the esophagus.

I am not a doctor, so either way you will want to talk to them, but this is what I have to say as a long time sufferer of Acid Reflux (G.E.R.D.)!

Three part answer: information, what not to do, and what to do!

INFORMATION!!!!!!
I have a very severe case of Acid Reflux (G.E.R.D.). I have had to go to the hospital for some of the heartburn that I have had because the pain can become overwhelming or your breathing can be effected. It can be caused by Smoking, Drinking Beverages with caffeine (My case with hereditary), Drinking Beverages with Alcohol, Stress, Anxiety or can be Hereditary

The good thing about G.E.R.D. is that it can be a temporary thing and can be cured. It is never a permit thing even if you end up with it for the rest of your life it has the ability to be cured.

G.E.R.D. is caused by too much acid being created in your stomach. This can lead to or cause ulcers, esophagus damage, heartburn and/or damage in the mouth. . Other symptoms that can be found in a few cases are dizziness, tingling in limbs, numbness of Limbs, Chest/Back pain focused on the left side (in most cases), and shortness/difficulty breathing.

WHAT NOT TO DO!!!!!!!!
In most cases, stress is a factor to the reflux if you watch what you eat and reduce some of the stress it will help. If you watch what you eat for about a week you should find relief, if you do not then that is when you definitely what to listen to the doctor. Things to watch for are as follows:

Fatty Foods
Citrus Foods
Foods That Contain Grease
Fried Foods
Chocolate (including any Coco)
Caffeine
Smoking
Alcohol
Tomato Based Products
Lactose
Roughage (Berries and Nuts)
Onions

WHAT TO DO!!!!
The two foods that I recommend is Black strap Molasses and Raw honey. The apple is better for night time reflux while these will work for just about all of it. What you will do is take about a tsp. of whatever one you chose. Molasses being the better because of strength and nutrition, but must be use to the taste. What the substance will do is stick to the sides of the esophagus and do two things, one is heal and the other is protect.
On the healing end, both substances have a healing property in them, and as they sit on the walls of the esophagus they will heal it. This is also helpful if you have a sore throat in the morning from refluxing.
On the protection end, both substances are high in sugar and when acid that is refluxed comes up to that the sugar will neutralize it and it will not longer be a problem at that point.

I would also look to putting Cinnamon and Ginger in you diet, they have been know to help with digestion and will help you reduce the amount of acid needed to brake down food, therefore causing you to reflux less.

YES. IF IT IS LEFT UNTREATED IT CAN BECOME EROSIVE AND ALLOW CANCER CELLS TO MIGRATE AROUND THE DESTROYED ORGAN. MAKE SURE YOU ARE TREATING IT AND DON'T EAT THINGS THAT BRING IT ON. IF YOUR TAKING A LOT OF PILLS, TRY ELIMINATING SOME. THEY CAUSE A LOT OF GASTRIC DAMAGE. YOU ALSO RISK GETTING THROAT CANCER BECAUSE OF THE GASTRIC ACIDS THAT ERODE FROM YOUR STOMACH CAUSES THE LINING TO DETERIOATE.

i don't believe i've heard of GERD being related to stomach cancer but i do know that GERD can predispose people to barret's esophagus which can then become esophageal cancer.
