GERD Information Resource Center @ www.gerd.com What is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)? Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is caused by the abnormal backflow, or reflux, of stomach acid and juices into the esophagus, the tube that leads from the throat to the stomach. How is GERD treated? Treatment for GERD begins with making lifestyle changes and, if necessary, taking nonprescription antacids or acid reducers. Severe GERD symptoms usually require stronger prescription medications, such as proton pump inhibitors or prokinetic agents, for successful treatment. Lifestyle changes are usually combined with prescription medications to help control the symptoms. Many people who develop GERD have the condition for the rest of their lives. They need to consider long-term lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking and avoiding foods that make the symptoms worse, and the possibility that they will be taking medications to help control the symptoms for many years. Surgery, such as fundoplication surgery, which strengthens the valve between the esophagus and stomach, may be an option for people for whom medications do not provide adequate relief or who are not able to take medications to control their GERD symptoms because of side effects. However, many people continue to need some medications even after surgery. Source(s): Yahoo health Check out GERD at webmd.com.
