Gastro oesophageal reflux disease

Overview for Dietary and Lifestyle or Treatment info see links at bottom

Oesophagaitis is an inflammation of the oesophagatis. Oesophageal problems are discussed here one of which is Oesophageal Reflux (gullet). Charaterised by the symptoms of herartburn, which purely has nothing to do with the geart, and is felt retrosternally as a burning discomfort. The precise situation varies but usually is felt centrally behind the breast bone or sternum.

The reason it occurs is that there is a backward reflux into the lower oesophagus, the internal lining of which ta the point of its joingin the stomach is not adapted to deal with the gastric fluid emanatign from the stomach.

This discomfort must be differentiated from Angina, which is a cardiac problem and has to be elucidated.
