Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) primarily affects the esophagus and stomach, but it can indirectly impact the pancreas through increased acidity and inflammation. Chronic reflux can lead to digestive issues, potentially causing the pancreas to work harder to produce enzymes for digestion. Additionally, reflux-related complications may lead to pancreatitis if the digestive process is disrupted, causing inflammation of the pancreas. Overall, while GERD is not a direct cause of pancreatic issues, its long-term effects can influence pancreatic function.
