Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), sometimes referred to as esophagitis, is a condition that results from reflux (backward flow) of the stomach contents into the esophagus. Reflux of infectious agents, chemical irritants, physical agents such as radiation and nasogastric intubation can cause GERD and can irritate and inflame the esophagus causing heartburn, belching, sore throat and other symptoms. Heartburn and indigestion are not other words for GERD, but are common symptoms of the condition. [1][2][3]
