The Preventions and treatment of Digestive Disorders - Heartburn (Gastritis, GERD)

The most common cause of heartburn is gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD). Another is hiatal hernia, in which a small portion of the stomach protrudes through the sphincter between the esophagus and the stomach. Digestive Disorders: heartburn (gas, GERD) The symptoms of heartburn and gastritis may include painful or burning sensations in the upper abdomen, bloating, belching, diffuse abdominal pain, passing gas, nausea, and occasionally vomiting.
