If you experience an uncomfortable burning sensation in your chest after meals, you’re not alone. About 20 percent of Americans experience gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). For most people, GERD can be helped through lifestyle changes and medications, but it is important to seek treatment early to stave off long-term complications to the esophagus. Luckily, there are many treatments available to halt GERD in its tracks.
