A member asked:
Is acid reflex and ulcer the same?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Acid reflux is stomach acid refluxing into the esophagus. Ulcers can be in stomach or duodenum. You can have one without the other or both at the same time. If in doubt see a GI doctor for evaluation and treatment.
