Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common disorders of the digestive tract. The two most typical symptoms are heartburn and regurgitation of stomach contents into the back of the throat. GERD is not just burning pain and a sour taste in your mouth. It causes millions of doctor visits and millions of hospitalizations every year in the United States. The most feared complication is cancer.
