Acid reflux happens when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing discomfort. When this occurs frequently, it is known as Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD). While occasional heartburn is common, chronic reflux can lead to more serious health issues. The lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) plays a crucial role in preventing acid from moving upwards, and its weakness can contribute to these conditions.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FkQuawiGWUw” image_src=”https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1576091160550-2173dba999ef?ixid=M3w1ODkyNzF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw5fHxmcmllbmRseSUyMGRvY3RvcnxlbnwwfDB8fHwxNzQ3NjM0NDY2fDA&ixlib=rb-4.1.0&fm=webp&fit=crop&crop=entropy&w=1080&h=600&q=20&dpr=2″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” border_radii=”on|6px|6px|6px|6px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”List” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” top_divider_style=”wave” top_divider_color=”#059afe” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Common Symptoms of Acid Reflux & GORD” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”c33f07d9-41e0-421a-8799-5799df695cce” title_level=”h2″ title_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” title_text_color=”#0e0c19″ title_font_size=”50px” title_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” title_font_size_tablet=”28px” title_font_size_phone=”20px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Heartburn” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||400″ icon_color=”#5db9fe” icon_placement=”left” image_icon_width=”40px” content_max_width=”100%” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”65059203-12d3-44f6-8371-3f5cf61a0475″ header_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_font_size=”18px” header_line_height=”1.4em” body_font=”Lato|Lato_weight|||||||” body_text_color=”#3c3a47″ body_font_size=”16px” body_line_height=”1.75em” body_link_text_color=”#5db9fe” animation=”off” header_font_size_tablet=”15px” header_font_size_phone=”14px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” body_font_size_tablet=”15px” body_font_size_phone=”14px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” border_radii_image=”on|6px|6px|6px|6px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

If you experience symptoms such as heartburn more than two to three times a week, have difficulty swallowing, or notice unintended weight loss, it’s time to seek medical advice. Persistent cough, throat symptoms, or symptoms that do not respond to over-the-counter medications also warrant a consultation. Individuals over 50 with new or ongoing symptoms should be evaluated to rule out serious conditions like Barrett\u2019s oesophagus.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Text & Image” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”#5db9fe 70%|#ffffff 70%” top_divider_style=”wave” top_divider_color=”#059afe” locked=”off” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-36fd78a7-34bc-404d-873c-dafa34efaae5%22:%91%22background_color_gradient_stops%22%93,%22#5db9fe%22:%91%22background_color_gradient_stops%22%93}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”5138c454-be54-4233-bd3b-f8e6a8747976″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”73121f80-a3ef-4484-8763-c3f18e3c56d2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Identifying Causes and Risks” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”f0c675ea-2574-4d0e-b725-30f8550a8550″ title_level=”h4″ title_font=”Lato|Montserrat_weight||on|||||” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” title_font_size=”14px” title_letter_spacing=”1px” title_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” title_font_size_tablet=”13px” title_font_size_phone=”13px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_heading title=”Causes and Risk Factors of Acid Reflux and GORD” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”c33f07d9-41e0-421a-8799-5799df695cce” title_level=”h2″ title_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” title_font_size=”50px” title_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” title_font_size_tablet=”28px” title_font_size_phone=”20px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”73121f80-a3ef-4484-8763-c3f18e3c56d2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text quote_border_color=”#FFFFFF” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”0504de1e-f5ff-4281-ba60-cbbe4edf98bc” text_font=”Lato|Lato_weight|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.75em” link_font=”||||on||||” link_text_color=”#FFFFFF” quote_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” quote_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font_size=”72px” header_line_height=”1.15em” header_2_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_3_font_size=”32px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” header_4_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_4_font_size=”24px” header_4_line_height=”1.4em” header_5_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_5_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_5_font_size=”18px” header_5_line_height=”1.4em” header_6_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_6_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_6_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_font_size_phone=”24px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”22px” header_3_font_size_phone=”17px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_4_font_size_tablet=”18px” header_4_font_size_phone=”15px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_5_font_size_tablet=”15px” header_5_font_size_phone=”14px” header_5_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_6_font_size_tablet=”13px” header_6_font_size_phone=”13px” header_6_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-36fd78a7-34bc-404d-873c-dafa34efaae5%22:%91%22icon_color%22,%22icon_color%22,%22icon_color%22,%22icon_color%22,%22link_text_color%22,%22icon_color%22,%22icon_color%22,%22icon_color%22,%22icon_color%22,%22link_text_color%22%93}”]

Acid reflux and GORD can result from a variety of factors. A weak lower oesophageal sphincter, hiatus hernia, and obesity are common causes. Lifestyle habits such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and eating large meals can increase risk. Spicy and fatty foods, along with stress and certain medications, may also contribute to symptoms.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”5138c454-be54-4233-bd3b-f8e6a8747976″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”73121f80-a3ef-4484-8763-c3f18e3c56d2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/drleenasinha.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ChatGPT-Image-May-19-2025-at-11_31_27-PM.webp” title_text=”ChatGPT Image May 19, 2025 at 11_31_27 PM” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”1cc6152f-565c-4c4d-b0c9-cf8c9576c341″ border_radii=”on|6px|6px|6px|6px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_vertical=”40px” box_shadow_blur=”112px” box_shadow_spread=”-24px” box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.12)” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” top_divider_style=”wave” top_divider_color=”#059afe” locked=”off” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”5138c454-be54-4233-bd3b-f8e6a8747976″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”73121f80-a3ef-4484-8763-c3f18e3c56d2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Treatment Options for Acid Reflux & GORD” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”ba4a6336-701f-47b8-bf5c-09da0ce28016″ title_level=”h3″ title_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” title_text_color=”#0e0c19″ title_font_size=”32px” title_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” title_font_size_tablet=”22px” title_font_size_phone=”17px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text quote_border_color=”#059afe” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”2c55a9c4-feed-423b-9edb-ae0b5b365cac” text_font=”Lato|Lato_weight|||||||” text_text_color=”#3c3a47″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.75em” link_font=”|Lato_weight|||||||” link_text_color=”#5db9fe” quote_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” quote_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_font_size=”72px” header_line_height=”1.15em” header_2_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_3_font_size=”32px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” header_4_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_4_font_size=”24px” header_4_line_height=”1.4em” header_5_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_5_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_5_font_size=”18px” header_5_line_height=”1.4em” header_6_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_6_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_6_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_font_size_phone=”24px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”22px” header_3_font_size_phone=”17px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_4_font_size_tablet=”18px” header_4_font_size_phone=”15px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_5_font_size_tablet=”15px” header_5_font_size_phone=”14px” header_5_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_6_font_size_tablet=”13px” header_6_font_size_phone=”13px” header_6_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Managing Acid Reflux and Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD) involves a comprehensive approach tailored to individual needs. Lifestyle modifications are often the first step, including eating smaller meals, avoiding late-night snacks, and elevating the head during sleep. Dietary changes, such as reducing caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods, can also help alleviate symptoms.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”92716280-2ae8-4a3a-8254-2d5a51101853″ background_color=”#5db9fe” custom_padding=”40px|40px|40px|40px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” border_radii=”on|6px|6px|6px|6px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text quote_border_color=”#FFFFFF” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”0504de1e-f5ff-4281-ba60-cbbe4edf98bc” text_font=”Lato|Lato_weight|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.75em” link_font=”||||on||||” link_text_color=”#FFFFFF” quote_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” quote_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font_size=”72px” header_line_height=”1.15em” header_2_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_3_font_size=”32px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” header_4_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_4_font_size=”24px” header_4_line_height=”1.4em” header_5_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_5_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_5_font_size=”18px” header_5_line_height=”1.4em” header_6_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_6_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_6_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_font_size_phone=”24px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”22px” header_3_font_size_phone=”17px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_4_font_size_tablet=”18px” header_4_font_size_phone=”15px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_5_font_size_tablet=”15px” header_5_font_size_phone=”14px” header_5_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_6_font_size_tablet=”13px” header_6_font_size_phone=”13px” header_6_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]

For patients who do not respond to lifestyle and medical interventions, surgical options like fundoplication or LINX magnetic sphincter augmentation may be considered. These procedures aim to strengthen the lower oesophageal sphincter and prevent acid reflux.

Barrett\u2019s Oesophagus is a condition where the lining of the oesophagus changes due to prolonged exposure to stomach acid. This condition can increase the risk of developing oesophageal cancer, although the risk remains relatively low. Regular surveillance through gastroscopy is crucial for early detection and management of any potential complications.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section
