Gerd
This page has been merged with the contents of Gerd (no capitals), which was an NIH patient information page. A lot of irrelevant stuff had to be slashed to keep this readable and informational. Additions will still have to be made. JFW | 00:38, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Totally agree. I've stuck to US spelling as much as possible, but a mention of GORD would only be reasonable. Same in the UK and European mainland. JFW | 15:01, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Antacids
Would the author of the original page provide a reference for the information about calcium-based antacids exacerbating acid production? All the information that I can find says exactly the opposite. Thanks -- Minerva9 06:33, 1 August 2005 (UTC)Minerva9
help with link
Could you please help me understand what parts of this site can be used as a useful contribution. We are very interested in adding our medical expertise to this article and are inquiring about any need for further content. Thanks

Reference needed
"EGD every 5 years is recommended for patients with chronic heartburn, or who take medication for GERD chronically."
This needs a reference. (A reference would also be particularly helpful to those of us in HMOs.)
"When combining drug therapy, food avoidance before bedtime, and elevation of the head of the bed, over 95% of patients will have complete relief"
This also needs a reference desperately. The percentage quoted sounds grossly inaccurate and without a reference, the entire statement should be deleted from the article.
one experience
I have reflux, an I started getting acid pains and a burning sensation and being sick and a sticky throught, I had it for years, but since Ive been taking gasviscon, its really good stuff, its a miracle it cured me, it works by forming a raft in your stomach and it blocks the acid from splashing up your pipe, so your pipe can heal. My dads freind Nogin also had this stuff when he was in hospital, he was an alcoholic and he really started to deteriate, his guts were burning really bad and this stuff saved his life,
paul from walsall england
Go look at Alginic acid. In this article the Gaviscon link is fairly off-topic. I added something about alginic acid in the "treatment" section.
Please assume good faith and remain civil. Telling someone to "get a life" sours any open discussion. JFW | 03:23, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Ryan: The problem with your site acidreflux.com is that it has very little content. It is a single page with some basic information about reflux. There are links on your page that then point off to other sites. Perhaps you have a financial relationship with those other sites in an effort to drive up visits directed from your site. But the big issue is that there is no content on your site that isn't available from any of the professional society sites, and other sites have much more information to share.

Stretta and endocinch
There is currently controversy in the GI literature on how effective and durable these approaches are. Kd4ttc 14:55, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
IFFGD?
Does any one know anything about "International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders" that is in the external links? Are they recognised by anyone as an authority? Are they legitimate? -- Barrylb 14:20, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Natural home remedy help
www.RefluxRemedy.com shows many ways to "cure" acid reflux from home, using foods instead of drugs.
Stop working
If you work, and if you work late or far from home, then it's difficult to eat "latest 3 hours before bedtime". The only solution seems to be to stop working. You'll be fired anyway when you refuse overtime in any form. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.82.143.78 (talk) 05:34, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Acid-Reflux-Online.com
I want to suggest a site for inclusion among the links, www.acid-reflux-online.com was written by a former acid reflux sufferer who advocates natural solutions for acid reflux, heartburn and related conditions. I believe the Wiki audience would benefit -- people need to know about alternative and complementary therapies. I'll try inserting the link one more time. Hope this is ok. Any help would be *greatly* appreciated. Thank you!
question?
I have a chronic cough that began around the same time as i starting taking Tetracycline. i would like your oppinion on weather or not it could be Gastroesophageal reflux disease, and if so could Tetracycline of caused it? 67.162.66.69 01:43, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
That is the same with me I also have a chronic cough, and heartburn. I had a Barium Meal and then was dianogsed with gerd the cough may be caused by the vagus nerve, ]asthma ] may also be linked to gerd
Evidence based
This review shows that most dietary measures have not been studied well enough. Worth pointing out in the article? JFW | 10:17, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Reflux in children
I wanted to suggest the following addition to the section on reflux in children. I've marked the addition with "**". This information is based on several studies. Please let me know if okay to add. Thanks, MIke Davenport
Children GERD may be difficult to detect in infants and children. Symptoms may vary from typical adult symptoms. GERD in children may cause repeated vomiting, effortless spitting up, coughing, and other respiratory problems. Inconsolable crying, failure to gain adequate weight, refusing food and bad breath are also common. Children may have one symptom or many - no single symptom is universally present in all children with
-
- It is it estimated that of the approximately 8 million babies born in the US each year, upwards of 35% of them may have difficulties with reflux in the first few months of their life. A majority of those children will outgrow their reflux by their first birthday, however, a small but significant number of them will not.**
GERD. Babies' immature digestive systems are usually the cause, and most infants stop having acid reflux by the time they reach their first birthday. Some children don't outgrow acid reflux, however, and continue to have it into their teen years. Children that have had heartburn that doesn't seem to go away, or any other symptoms of GERD for a while, should talk to their parents and visit their doctor.
I tihnk the article should also include info (sourced, of course) about GERD in teenagers, also, the way the reflux disease is beomcing more and more of an increasing "epidemic" nowadays. Knuckles sonic8 23:03, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
I Know two teenagers that suffer from gerd it is a big problem for these people!
Laryngeal cancer
Expect 1000s of people demanding endoscopy and PPIs: this paper links GERD to laryngeal cancer. JFW | 08:23, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Episodic treatment subsection
I added a new section for Episodic treatment Nov 20, 2006 -- what to do when one is having an episode. It doesn't do much good in the middle of the night to know that the solution is a change in diet... Hopefully, this section is just a start and others will add more information, perhaps with citations.
'Smoking' seems out of place within 'Foods'
Under a heading on food changes as treatment, smoking is mentioned as an aside. Maybe under treatments there should be an "Other", and smoking could go there, or have a "Smoking" entry even if it only has one sentence to it.
Fasting
The section on fasting seems out of place and needs to be cited. Who says it's an effective treatment? 199.126.44.35 06:42, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Not only does it need to be cited, it desperately needs a grammar overhaul.
Unfortunately the whole article needs a grammar overhaul. 82.36.228.184 11:36, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I can't imagine that fasting helps anyone with GERD, and I was told by multiple doctors never to go for long periods without eating because it aggravates symptoms.
I agree, fasting is a typical "folk remedy" and I have found no scientific support for it in any major journal (pubmed etc. journals)
I deleted the fasting instructions since there was no source, and a fairly extensive search of the information for patients put out by reputable agencies did not support the contention. Mhickcoxhoward 05:43, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
I dont think fasting works because it will just make symptoms worse because the will be only acid in your stomach not a mixture of acid and food and if you fast contact a docter before you star i dont reccomed this.
