What is the cause of acid reflux?
user
GERD (Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease) is a condition that involves the damage to the lining of the esophagus and stomach. This damage is caused by stomach acid splashing up into the esophagus. Other types of gastroesophageal reflux disease include GERD-Heartburn, also called H. pylori-induced GERD. I would suggest you visit a gastroenterologist, a doctor who specializes in the digestive system, to diagnose and treat your condition.
