Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common digestive disorder affecting adults and children alike. It manifests itself as acid reflux from the stomach into the esophagus, caused by dysfunction of the lower esophageal sphincter. Normally, the lower esophageal sphincter acts as a protective valve, remaining closed except to allow food to pass through.

What are the symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease?

GERD can manifest itself through a wide variety of symptoms, often accentuated when lying down or after a heavy meal. Among the most common signs are

Heartburn (pyrosis): pain or burning sensations rising behind the breastbone.
Acid regurgitation: backflow of gastric fluid into the mouth, without nausea or vomiting.
Epigastric pain: localized discomfort in the center of the abdomen.
Frequent hiccups and belching: associated digestive signs.
Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), bloody vomiting or anemia: in the event of complications (advanced esophagitis).

It's important to consult your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.

Reflux medications: which options to choose?

Several classes of medication are available to relieve or prevent reflux symptoms:

Antacids

Neutralize gastric acidity by acting directly in the stomach:

Fast-acting but short-lasting.
Possible side effects: diarrhea, constipation, bloating.

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)

Reduce acid production in the stomach:

Examples: omeprazole, lansoprazole.
Used for chronic forms of GERD.
Possible side effects: headaches, fatigue, nausea.

H2 antihistamines

Block histamine receptors involved in acid secretion:

Examples: ranitidine, famotidine.
Often used in conjunction with antacids.
Fairly well tolerated, but may cause headaches and digestive problems.

Practical tips for limiting reflux

Even if medication provides effective relief, a few lifestyle changes can improve the situation in the long term:

Avoid heavy or fatty meals.
Don't lie down immediately after eating.
Raise the head of the bed slightly.
Lose weight if necessary.
Stop smoking and limit alcohol consumption.
