GERD is Gastroesophageal reflux disease.
It is also known as acid reflux disease.
There are several other variations of medical terminology for this.
Basically, it is experienced as heartburn.
It is the result of stomach acid coming into the esophagus.
The lower esophageal sphincter muscle has not closed to keep the stomach acid out.
This is usually a chronic and important condition. If one has it, other serious problems can develop. Treatment is usually a simple matter of a pill.
