Gastroesophageal reflux disease: What you need to know
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common condition that affects the digestive system, causing uncomfortable symptoms and sometimes leading to complications if left untreated.

We speak to a leading gastroenterologist who helps you understand what GERD is, its causes, symptoms, and treatment options.
