A member asked:
Can gerd disease be caused by stressed? and if it is caused by stress is it possible to get rid of gerd disease if you are no longer stressed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
GERD Has many causes: Most people have many "habits" that increase development of gerd symptoms. But it can also be caused by something more serious like h. Pylori infection which can increase likelihood of gastric (stomach) cancer. Look into this website. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/gerd/ds00967 you can do a trial of Omeprazole 20 mg once a day (on empty stomach half hour before first meal) for max 2 weeks.
