What Causes GERD?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
A lot of us have experienced that burning sensation in the throat after having recently eaten something. It is a fairly common condition known as heartburn, which is known technically as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It is not usually something to worry about, but that doesn’t make it any less uncomfortable.
By far the best way to treat the symptoms of GERD is to make sure they don’t happen in the first place. While this is not always possible, there are various triggers that can be avoided if you know what they are. This can help to make you a great deal more comfortable, while hopefully avoiding the need for medication.
