Do you have a GERD? Or do you have someone you know that does have GERD? GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, occurs when the contents of the stomach, including stomach acid and partially digested food, flow backwards into the esophagus. The esophagus is the passageway that connects the oral passageway to the stomach. The usual symptoms of GERD are a sour or bitter taste in the mouth and a burning sensation in the chest and heartburn. Both of these symptoms will usually get worse when the sufferer bends over, lies down, or after eating. It can be concluded that the increase in stomach acid in people with GERD can be triggered by poor health or lifestyle conditions. If this condition is not treated, it will lead to more severe disease, therefore it is important for us to know how GERD can occur.
