Does acid reflux last your whole life?

People have given up caffeine, for instance, and have eradicated their GERD permanently. If you can identify triggers, avoid them.

No. If you are overweight, losing weight may address the issue. If GERD is due to problems with esophageal sphincter, it could be corrected surgically. Wish you good health!
