A member asked:
What's the difference between acid reflux and erosive acid reflux? i usually get chest pain if i don't eat within an hour of taking prilosec.

GERD: Acid reflux is the term describing spillage of stomach acid into the esophagus. Erosive acid reflux is spillage associated with superficial esophageal lining breaks (erosions). Erosive acid reflux may lead to ulcers that are deeper lesions that can cause pain and difficulty with food digestion. Erosions may be painful as well.
