Gerdoff tablets what it is for

This food supplement is a product specifically created for the treatment of burning and gastroesophageal reflux.We are going to evaluate this annoying pathology in detail:

Gastro-esophageal reflux disease, also referred to as GERD (Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease), is a functional disease associated with a set of typical symptoms, such as:

• burning in the chest (retrosternal heartburn),
• acid or alkaline regurgitation from position, from food or irritants that facilitate reflux (alcohol, coffee, tea, chocolate, citrus)
• cramps
• painless feeling of difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia)
• irritative cough
• dysphonia (hoarseness, aphonia)

Symptoms may or may not be associated with erosive inflammatory lesions of the esophageal mucosa. An incorrect diet or a hectic lifestyle can significantly affect the production of gastric juices, increasing gastric acidity and causing that annoying and painful burning sensation, especially after meals. This excessive acidity can also be felt at the pit of the stomach, with sensations of burning, cramps, swelling, nausea and heaviness. GERD can also occur during the night's rest, as the supine position favors the ascent of the gastric juice into the esophagus, which is devoid of a wall suitable to withstand gastric acidity, with consequent onset of burning in the chest.
