No: GERD is a somewhat natural event for those who ingest caffeine, nicotine or who lay down after eating. The stomach entrance is a weak fold of tissue, for some more than others & backwash of stomach contents is aggravated by these dietary choices & behaviors. Umbilical hernias are an isolated separate issue. Alter your diet & this may improve. Treatment is also available.
