Once dismissed as heartburn or indigestion, GERD can be the cause of significant distress for sufferers on multiple levels and can lead to costly and dramatic complications and treatments. If left untreated acid reflux disease can be the ultimate cause of serious health problems including ulcers, bleeding, and esophageal cancer.
GERD is a condition that develops when the contents of the stomach leak backwards into the esophagus causing troublesome symptoms or complications. More specifically, it is the acid from the stomach that is or “refluxed” up the throat, causing the most common symptom which is heartburn.
Other symptoms associated with GERD include unexplained chest pain particularly at night, excessive burping and belching, sleeping problems, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss and more. Individuals that are dealing with the physical symptoms of GERD may also lack the joy of eating, socializing, and face economic hardship due to lost days of work and medical bills.
While anyone young or old can develop GERD, those who are most likely to develop the disease possess one or more of the following risk factors:
- Overweight or obese
- White males over 50
- Heavy smokers and drinkers
- Those who have a lot of stress in their lives
- Pregnant women (The condition usually resolves itself after pregnancy.)
VanEs’s new book explains why GERD has become so prevalent, provides a clear understanding of what is happening inside the body when GERD is present, and gives the reader insight and tools to prevent, reverse, and manage this illness so they can feel good again.
