Which foods neutralize stomach acid?
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
is defined as “Symptoms or mucosal damage produced by the abnormal reflux of
gastric contents into the esophagus, or beyond into the oral cavity (including
the larynx) or the lungs.” GERD-related symptoms are experienced by around
10-20 percent of the total adult population daily, and a much higher percentage
battles some form of acid reflux
symptoms at least monthly.
If GERD is left unresolved, it can lead to serious health problems down
the road— including Barrett’s esophagus, an increased risk of esophageal
cancer, ulcers in the esophagus and more.
