What is Acid Reflux?
Acid reflux, or GERD as it is the name commonly used by most doctors, refers to the condition that the acid in your stomach reflux back into the esophagus. One of the major problem with those reflux is that they can damage your esphagus by inflaming its lining. In general, those so-called “acid” consists of both pepsin and acid that we produce in our stomach. Bile and pepsin don’t have the same level of destrution power as acid did to your stomach. That’s why we simply refer it to acid reflux instead of “regurgitated liquid” reflux.
What’s more important than the fact that those acid can damage your lining is that Acid reflux is a life long process. Once it get started, it rarely stops in a short period of time. Even if it is treated properly, the injury will be back in a couple of months if you stop taking the pills. Therefore, once your begin your treatment for Acid Reflux, you will have to continue taking the pills indefinitely.
