Welcome to HeartburnHelp.com, your heartburn and GERD relief resource.
Millions of Americans just like you suffer from chronic heartburn. And it's not the occasional heartburn that can be relieved with antacids. It's frequent and often may be painful. It can decrease the quality of your life and may keep you from your favorite foods or even keep you up at night.
And, it actually may be a symptom of GERD. GERD is a serious medical condition that can aggravate or cause other serious conditions including asthma2 and Barrett's esophagus, a precancerous condition that can lead to esophageal cancer.
Find Out About GERD
GERD stands for gastroesophageal reflux disease. GERD occurs when the barrier between the stomach and the esophagus is not working. Stomach acid, which is very strong, is able to splash up into the esophagus repeatedly. This causes heartburn, that burning pain behind the breastbone. Find out what the difference is between heartburn and GERD.
