How can you deal with acid reflux(gerd)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stepwise: Reflux becomes a disease when it damages organs or causes significant symptoms. Treatment generally starts with lifestyle modification (diet, stress, elevating bed), then medications to reduce acid, then possibly an endoscopic or surgical procedure depending on the specific patient symptoms, goals, anatomy, etc. Hope this helps.
