GERD: More than Just Heartburn



Heartburn, everybody gets it and it's not a big deal right? Well, not quite. Many people suffer with heartburn and don't recognize that it's a treatable condition and one that can have serious consequences especially when heartburn is actually acid reflux disease known as gastro esophageal reflux disease or GERD. Gerd can lead to Barrett's esophagus which is a pre-cancerous condition and painful esophageal strictures which make it difficult to swallow. In this program we take a look at the many effective treatments that take the discomfort out of GERD and lower the risk of long-term damage and debilitating disease.
