One helpful website I have used to find a myriad of information is Healthline.com. Healthline’s mission is “to make the people of the world healthier through the power of information.” The website is easy to use. It has clearly labelled categories of information and keeps the articles simple but informative. The language used is straightforward to understand and each article is reviewed by an editor to make sure the website stays that way. If you aren’t confident in the quality of the material, there is a page that tells you all about Healthline and how its posts are written. Each one must be reviewed by a board-certified physician and then goes to the editors. They have goals and criteria that must be met for each post, so the reader can be sure the information is accurate.

There is a large quantity of information for GERD which I found to be very useful in my research. I would highly recommend Healthline.com to anyone wanting to know more about gastroesophageal refliux disease. In addition, Healthline has a substantial amount of information for several other diseases as well.

Please always remember that the best source of information is your doctor and that you should never rely solely on information that you read on the internet.
