By Laurel Thorsell

On this page I will talk about gastroesophageal reflux disease, beginning with the definition and epidemiology of the disease. I will cover etiology and pathophysiology of the disease, diagnosis, signs and symptoms, medical treatment options, diet considerations, websites that are helpful for people with GERD, apps that are helpful, and end with a list of support groups for people with GERD.
