Gastro-esophageal reflux, commonly called GERD, or acid reflux, is a disorder or trouble in which the fluid content of the stomach regurgitates, backs up or refluxes into the esophagus, commonly known as the food tube. This backed up fluid can give rise to damage or inflammation to the lining of the esophagus. The fluid that is refluxed generally contains acid and pepsin that are created in the stomach. Stomach acid is considered the most damaging element of this refluxed, regurgitated or backed up liquid. Bile and/or pepsin may also lead to injury of the esophagus. GERD is considered a chronic problem. Once it begins, it is usually life-long. There are a great variety of remedies for gERD. However, once treatment for gERD or gastroesophageal reflux starts, it will ordinarily need to be continued pretty much indefinitely.
