In 1999, a review of existing studies found that, on average, 40% of GERD patients also had ''H. pylori'' infection. The eradication of ''H. pylori'' can lead to an increase in acid secretion, leading to the question of whether ''H. pylori''-infected GERD patients are any different than non-infected GERD patients. A double-blind study, reported in 2004, found no clinically significant difference between these two types of patients with regard to the subjective or objective measures of disease severity.

Clinic

  • GORD or GERD is one of the chronic upper GI diseases where stomach content persistently and regularly flows up into the esophagus
  • Risk factors include obesity, pregnancy, smoking, hiatal hernia, and taking certain medications.
  • Acid reflux is due to poor closure of LES (Lower Esophageal Sphincter)


Signs / Symptoms

Adults Children / Babies
  • Acidic taste in the mouth, Regurgitation, and Heartburn are most common
  • Other symptoms include Odynophagia, Sore throat, Increased salivation (Water brash), nausea, chest pain, coughing, and globus sensation.
  • Acid reflux can induce asthma attack symptoms like shortness of breath, cough, and wheezing in those with underlying asthma.
  • Complication: Reflux esophagitis, Esophageal strictures, Barrett's esophagus, Esophageal adenocarcinoma, Laryngeal injury and Aspiration pneumonia.
  • Note that these are dynamic post nodes
  • GERD may be difficult to detect in infants and children since they cannot describe it.
  • It may cause repeated vomiting, effortless spitting up, coughing, and other respiratory problems, such as wheezing.
  • Inconsolable crying, refusing food, crying for food and then pulling off the bottle or breast only to cry for it again,
  • Failure to gain adequate weight, bad breath, and burping are also common.
  • Children may have one or many symptom and no single symptom is universal in all children with GERD.
