GERD. More than Just Heartburn
Description
Heartburn - everybody gets it, and it's not a big deal, right? Well, not quite. Many people suffer with heartburn without recognizing that it can have serious consequences, especially when it's actually acid reflux disease known as GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Though it is treatable, GERD can lead to Barrett's esophagus, a precancerous condition with painful esophageal strictures that make it difficult to swallow. This program features the many effective treatments that take the discomfort out of GERD and lower the risk of long-term damage and debilitating disease.
