The Facts About Gerd Or Acid Reflux

Acid Reflux is a disease commonly known as GERD, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. When it comes to this kind of disease, the stomach’s liquid content refluxes in the esophagus. Because of this liquid, damage and inflammation in the lining of your esophagus can be the result. The liquid that is refluxed contains pepsin and acid which is produced by the stomach. Pepsin is the enzyme which starts the digestion of the proteins found in our stomach. Also, bile that backs-up from the duodenum which attaches the small intestines to the stomach can be found in the regurgitated liquid. In acid reflux, acid is the most damaging ingredient.
