Health Feels Better Than Heartburn Ever Did

Many people get this burning feeling, called heartburn, every now and then. But when it happens often or regularly, you may have GERD. Say goodbye to the burn. It's time to start enjoying the foods you love again and stop worrying about those unnecessary flare-ups caused by acid reflux.

Navigating Acid Reflux Disease (GERD)

At AdventHealth, we treat lives interrupted by heartburn and GERD, also known as acid reflux disease.

Heartburn is associated with a burning sensation in the chest, usually behind the breastbone, that often occurs after eating and/or at night. The burning sensation is caused by stomach acid backing up into the esophagus.

While occasional heartburn is common and can affect anyone after a large meal or certain foods, frequent heartburn — occurring two or more times per week — may be a sign of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a chronic condition. Unlike occasional heartburn, GERD can lead to complications over time if left untreated, such as inflammation or damage to the esophagus. Fortunately, GERD is manageable and early treatment can help relieve symptoms and improve long-term digestive health.

Working with a dedicated care team, you’ll have a personalized plan built around your needs. It's time for long-lasting relief.

We’ll map out a course of action based on your current health, medical history and specifics of your acid reflux diagnosis and explain each step along the way.

If Your Heartburn Won't Quit, It Could Be More Than Reflux

Barrett’s esophagus is a condition that can develop after long-term acid reflux (GERD), where repeated acid exposure damages and changes the lining of the esophagus. This damage leads to changes in the esophageal cells, which may increase the risk of developing esophageal cancer.
