A member asked:

1)is it possible that you have lax les but no gerd? 2)suppose someone have gerd and his symptoms are almost gone ,is he still at the risk of getting cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GERD by definition is the SYMPTOMATIC changes produced by reflux through the LES. The stomach is a muscular organ that squeezes to mix food preparing it for digestion. Many humans have some symptom free reflux. Avoiding laying down after feeds/caffeine & foods that aggravate reflux avoids symptoms. Cancer is rare in even those with decades of long-term GERD.
