Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which acid from the stomach flows up into the esophagus, often causing heartburn. The GERD symptoms can include heartburn, coughing, shortness of breath, and weight gain. H. pylori is the bacteria that is most often associated with GERD, and it has been linked to heart disease, stroke, and other problems. Care for GERD includes medication and lifestyle changes.
The most common cause of GERD is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is a result of the improper relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). This weakness allows food and vomit to escape from the stomach and into the esophagus.
The most common source of the acid is food, but it can also be caused by smoking, alcohol, and stress. H. pylori infection is another major cause of GERD, as this bacterium increases the production of stomach acids.
Naturopath are highly trained in herbal medicine and holistic health practices, including nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, and energy medicine. Naturopathic care for GERD often combines personalized dietary modifications with other natural therapies to offer comprehensive and effective care.
