Gerd – Diet And Tips For Relief

A diet for GERD relief must begin by understanding what it is we want to relieve. What is GERD? Technically speaking, GERD is an irritation or inflammation of the esophagus. It is believed that the condition is due to stomach acid flowing back up into the esophagus. The esophagus is the pipe that carries swallowed food from your mouth to your stomach.
