Gastro-esophageal reflux

1️⃣ What’s acid reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)?

Acid reflux happens when contents from stomach move up into esophagus.
If symptoms of acid reflux occur more than twice a week, a condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) may be considered.

2️⃣ GERD symptoms:

• Uncomfortable burning feeling in chest, known as heartburn.
• A sour or bitter taste at the back of mouth.
• Regurgitate food or liquid from stomach into mouth.
• In some cases, difficulty in swallowing, chronic cough or asthma.

3️⃣ GERD causes:

Acid reflux happens when lower esophageal sphincter doesn’t tighten or close properly. This allows digestive juices and other contents from stomach to rise up into esophagus.

In some people, certain types of foods and beverages trigger symptoms of GERD. Common dietary triggers include:

• high-fat foods
• spicy foods
• chocolate
• citrus fruit and pineapple
• tomato
• onion and garlic
• mint
• alcohol
• coffee and tea
• soda

4️⃣ There are several lifestyle changes that may help relieve GERD symptoms:

• Lose excess weight
• Eat smaller meals
• Quit smoking
• Chew gum after eating
• Avoid lying down after eating
• Avoid foods and drinks that trigger your symptoms
• Avoid wearing tight clothing
• Some herbal like chamomile and licorice root may relief symptoms.
