How to deal with Acid Reflux and GERD
Acid reflux disease, or GERD, is a very painful and dangerous condition if left untreated. The number one symptom of this disease is chronic, painful heartburn that typcially occurs after you eat. The main difference between regular heartburn and Acid Reflux is that in Acid Reflux, the stomach acids breach the upper sphincter of your stomach and enter into the esophagus, causing damage to the surrounding tissue.
Currently, there is no cure for acid reflux or GERD, however, there are many different ways to treat the disease, most of which do not even require you to go to the doctor. If you find that you have any of the symptoms of acid reflux, then you might want to look into some of the solutions presented here.

Wikipedia Says...
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), gastric reflux disease, or acid reflux disease is defined as chronic symptoms or mucosal damage produced by the abnormal reflux in
the oesophagus.
This is commonly due to transient or permanent changes in the barrier between the oesophagus and the stomach. This can be due to incompetence of the lower esophageal sphincter, transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxation, impaired expulsion of gastric reflux from the oesophagus, or a hiatal hernia.
Respiratory and laryngeal manifestations of GERD are commonly referred to as extraesophageal reflux disease (EERD).
