Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, or GERD, is a chronic digestive condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, leading to symptoms like heartburn, chest pain, chronic cough, or difficulty swallowing. Left untreated, GERD can lead to complications such as esophagitis or Barrett’s esophagus. At Rivas Digestive Center, we offer comprehensive GERD management, including dietary counseling, medication, and endoscopic evaluations to protect your long-term digestive health.
