Understanding GERD / Acidity / Acid Reflux
Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) – also referred to as acid reflux or ‘heartburn’ is a chronic digestive condition characterized by the backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus, often leading to a range of unpleasant symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and difficulty swallowing.
It affects approximately 11.0%-29.2% of the population worldwide and can significantly impair an individual’s quality of life. (Cho et al., 2013) In India, the prevalence of GERD is estimated to be around 7.6%-30 % (Bhatia et al., 2019).
