GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is a disease of the gastrointestinal tract caused by stomach acid rising to reflux or the esophagus.
This can be caused by obesity, stress or consuming certain foods such as carbonated foods.
Gastrointestinal disorders can be overcome with lifestyle changes and drugs and supplements that can reduce the risk of digestive disorders.
