A member asked:
Can gerd cause interstitial lung disease? and if so are the chances of developing ild from gerd small?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In theory, yes: Gerd can in theory cause lung problems if there is a chronic regurgitation of stomach acid that is aspirated into the lungs. This is a very rare event for a young otherwise healthy person.
