Overcoming Digestive Challenges

Acid reflux also referred to as heartburn, is the result of acidic digestive juices from the stomach backing up into the esophagus. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is a more advanced, chronic form of acid reflux. Did you know that between 4%-10% of adults experience symptoms of acid reflux or GERD on a daily basis, and in Western countries, up to 30% of adults experience symptoms weekly? (Dr. Axe, n.d.)
