Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease. GERD occurs when stomach acid or, occasionally, stomach content, flows back into your food pipe (esophagus). The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD. Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time.

When you swallow, the lower esophageal sphincter ? a circular band of muscle around the bottom part of your esophagus ? relaxes to allow food and liquid to flow down into your stomach. Then it closes again. Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the inside lining of your esophagus, stomach and the upper portion of your small intestine. If GERD and Esophagitis symptoms aren?t brought under control, your stomach acid may continue to further damage your esophagus. Over time, repeated damage might lead to the following complications: Narrowing of the esophagus: This is called esophageal stricture and may be caused by scar tissue resulting from GERD or tumors. You may experience difficulty swallowing or food getting caught in your throat. Esophageal rings: These are rings or folds of abnormal tissue that form in the lower lining of the esophagus. These bands of tissue may constrict the esophagus and cause trouble swallowing. Barrett?s esophagus: This is a condition in which the cells in the lining of the esophagus are damaged from stomach acid and change to become similar to the cells lining the small intestine.
