Is gerd curable?what diet is beneficial what isdangerous ?

Sometimes curable: If related to diet or h pylori infections, or some other more rare issues. Diet: try not to overeat, do not lay down right after eating, elevate head of bed, avoid mint. Avoid alcohol. Do not smoke. Dangers: ulcers can be related. Most dangerous issue is development of esophageal cancer which can happen after very long duration in some people.

Control, not cure : Gerd is when acid content of the stomach is allowed into the food pipe (esophagus). It is a defect in the function of the sphincter which should prevent this. In some people it is caused by a hiatus hernia. None of these problems can be fixed with a medication. If it is severe, surgery may be an option. Otherwise the symptoms are controlled with antacids, medications to decrease acid production.
