Frequently asked questions

GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) is a chronic condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn and acid reflux. Treatment usually involves lifestyle changes, medications, and in some cases, surgery.

Common recommendations include:

  • Eating smaller, more frequent meals

  • Avoiding spicy, fatty, or acidic foods

  • Not eating 2–3 hours before bedtime

  • Elevating the head of your bed

  • Losing excess weight

  • Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol

Long-term use of acid-reducing medications like PPIs should be monitored by your doctor, as they can have side effects such as nutrient deficiencies or increased risk of certain infections. Regular follow-up is important.
