Welcome to Acid Reflux Blog
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, commonly referred to as GERD or acid reflux, is a condition in which the liquid content of the stomach regurgitates (backs up or refluxes) into the esophagus. The liquid can inflame and damage the lining (cause, cause esophagitis) of the esophagus although visible signs of inflammation occur in a minority of patients.

heartburn and acid reflux are the same thing. They are when your stomach pushes acid up into your esophagus. Indigestion is just a general term for problems with digestion, such as bloating or diarrhea or anything like that. Bile cannot come up into your throat unless you throw up. It is in your small intestine, not your stomach.
