UNDERSTANDING GERD AND
PROVIDING EFFECTIVE CARE
WHAT IS GERD?
GERD is a chronic digestive disorder that occurs when
stomach acid or bile flows back into the esophagus. The
esophagus is the muscular tube that connects the mouth
to the stomach. Normally, the lower esophageal sphincter
(LES) acts as a barrier, preventing stomach contents from
flowing back into the esophagus. However, in GERD, the
LES becomes weak or relaxes at inappropriate times,
allowing acid to flow back into the esophagus.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF GERD
GERD is primarily caused by the malfunctioning of the LES. The LES is a
ring of muscle that surrounds the bottom of the esophagus and acts as a
barrier between the esophagus and stomach. When food passes through
the esophagus into the stomach, the LES relaxes and opens to allow food
to pass into the stomach. However, in GERD patients, the LES is either
weak or relaxes at inappropriate times, allowing stomach acid to flow
back into the esophagus. Over time, this acid reflux can irritate and
damage the lining of the esophagus, leading to symptoms such as
heartburn, regurgitation, and dysphagia.
CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS OF GERD
GERD can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Obesity
Hiatal hernia
Pregnancy
Smoking
Alcohol consumption
Certain medications
Certain foods can also trigger GERD symptoms, including:
Citrus fruits
Spicy foods
Fatty or fried foods
Chocolate
Coffee and tea
Carbonated beverages
