What is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)?
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is caused by the abnormal backflow, or reflux, of stomach acid and juices into the esophagus, the tube that leads from the throat to the stomach.

How is GERD treated?
Treatment for GERD begins with making lifestyle changes and, if necessary, taking nonprescription antacids or acid reducers. Severe GERD symptoms usually require stronger prescription medications, such as proton pump inhibitors or prokinetic agents, for successful treatment. Lifestyle changes are usually combined with prescription medications to help control the symptoms.

Many people who develop GERD have the condition for the rest of their lives. They need to consider long-term lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking and avoiding foods that make the symptoms worse, and the possibility that they will be taking medications to help control the symptoms for many years. Surgery, such as fundoplication surgery, which strengthens the valve between the esophagus and stomach, may be an option for people for whom medications do not provide adequate relief or who are not able to take medications to control their GERD symptoms because of side effects. However, many people continue to need some medications even after surgery.

IT is when the stomach back up into the esophagus.

good luck

gastro-oesophageal reflux disease is when the gastro-oesophageal sphincter is not functioning well and allows acid from the stomach to move back into the gullet and sometimes to the mouth...this can be a very disturbing problem

symtpoms vary from burning pain, waterbrash, bloatedness etc.

treatment is with medications: antacids and anti-reflux medications; or surgery...see a doc for more explanation

don't eat.

It's not GERD. GERD is felt in the esophagus, not the belly. Go to the doctor.
