GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease) is a digestive disorder that affects the lower esophageal sphincter, the ring of muscle between the esophagus and stomach. If left untreated, GERD may lead to serious complications.

Dietary and lifestyle choices may contribute to GERD.

Heartburn, also called acid indigestion, is the most common symptom of GERD and usually feels like a burning chest pain beginning behind the breastbone and moving upward to the neck and throat.
