      Disclaimer

      The author and publisher decline responsibility about any injury or deleterious effect that could result from misinterpretation or wrong understanding and application of this text.

      This short guide shouldn't be understood as a substitute for professional care by a gastroenterologist or another specialist.

      Its aim is to fill a gap between professional literature and individual care by physicians.

      It is a self- help guide aiming at better care for this disease.

      Key words

      Gastro- esophageal reflux, lower esophageal sphincter insufficiency (stomach inlet insufficiency), reflux esophagitis, hiatal herniation, gastro- esophageal reflux disease, GERD.

      Prevalence

      Gastro- esophageal reflux is a frequent complaint. About a third of the population of industrialized countries suffers from GERD on and off.

      Anatomy

      The anatomical substrate for GERD consists in a faulty ligament restraint of movements of distal esophagus. (I e ligaments linking distal esophagus to diaphragm.)

      Its full- blown image is hiatal herniation, which is the term frequently used for convenience’s sake in this text.

      Hiatal herniation causes incompetency of lower esophageal sphincter (gastric inlet), and thus allows stomach content to reflux in lower esophagus.

      1.

      How to be sure, you have gastro esophageal reflux

      – Identifying acid in your mouth at night.

      – Burning sensation or frank pain in upper abdomen and lower chest: in the middle, going up towards the throat, worst at night or after a heavy meal, relieved by upright position.

      – If you are not sure
