• Because the main triggering factors of GERD are lifestyle-related, it can be treated very well after modifications in diet and regimen.
• Conventional medical practitioners prescribe antacids in Acid Reflux treatment. The problem is that they only deal with the burning and neutralize the acid, but they cannot address the cause.
• Surgical procedures like Laparoscopic Fundoplication (pulling and stitching down the hiatal hernia sac below the diaphragm), endoscopic suturing of the LES, endoscopic application of radio frequency waves causing tightening of the LES, etc. have been used in the treatment for GERD. However, there are no studies that demonstrate the superiority of surgery over medicines in Acid Reflux treatment.
