The More You Know
What Is Acid Reflux and GERD?
Acid reflux happens when acid from your stomach flows back (reflux) into your oesophagus (food pipe). Many people have acid reflux once in a while, but in some cases, it may irritate or damage the lining of the oesophagus.
If you have symptoms of acid reflux more than twice a week, you might have a condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This is a more severe and longer-lasting condition in which the symptoms faced are constant or leads to complications over time.
