A member asked:
Since i have gerd and i'm only 20 (i'm a healthy weight too) will i probably die before 50? how long do people with gerd usually live?

Long enough: You won't probably die from GERD. That being said, make sure to follow with your doctor to make sure you are getting the proper follow-ups in the future. In rare cases, GERD, can transform into more advanced disease. As long as you detect these changes early, it shouldn't be a problem.
