Cruciferous vegetables[edit]

The article lists onions as a cruciferous vegetable. They aren't! But perhaps onions are linked to GERD anyway? Could someone who knows more about the impact of onions edit this to show thwe impact of onions without suggesting that they are members of the brassica family?

GERD or GORD?[edit]

This article - and this talk page - use GERD and GORD indiscriminately. Is there a definitive statement we could standardize on, please? JohnHarris (talk) 15:21, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Akkermansia muciniphila[edit]

Could increasing the population of Akkermansia muciniphila also help to decrease GERD ? Basically it increases the slime layer of the Large intestine, so I would assume it could possibly be an alternative to Pantoprazole. KVDP (talk) 09:00, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

Treatment[edit]

Non pharmacological treatment of GERD Fromhttps://www.webmd.com/heartburn-gerd/features/11-meal-planning-tips-prevent-heartburn

Avoid eating large meals because the more volume in the stomach, the more likely the stomach contents will splash toward the LES. Try eating four to five small meals instead of two or three large ones.
Chew gum (a nonpeppermint flavor) after meals to stimulate saliva production (the bicarbonate in saliva neutralizes acid) and increase peristalsis (which helps move the stomach contents into the small intestine more quickly).
Drink a small glass of water at the end of meals to help dilute and wash down any stomach acid that might be splashing up into the esophagus, suggests Shekhar Challa, MD, president of Kansas Medical Clinic and author of Spurn The Burn: Treat The Heat.
