What is the definition of Gerd?

Answer 1

Gastroesophageal reflux disease, commonly referred to as GERD or acid reflux, is a condition in which the liquid content of the stomach regurgitates (backs up or refluxes) into the esophagus. The liquid can inflame and damage the lining (cause esophagitis) of the esophagus although visible signs of inflammation occur in a minority of patients. The regurgitated liquid usually contains acid and pepsin that are produced by the stomach.

Answer 2

Gerd is when your stomach allows its fluids to surge back up into the throat which can allow the throat to become bothered which this action which in turn cuases heartburn and so forth
